 Title - "Recent results on top quark physics"   

 Abstract:
 The top quark has now been studied experimentally for about 15 years,
 first at the Tevatron and more recently in the first measurements at
 the LHC, leading to important results but few surprises. Yet, its large
 mass continues to be intriguing as to a possible role the top might play
 in physics beyond the SM, and the large samples of top quark that the
 LHC will produce open the door to a range of new physics searches with
 top events. I will give an overview of recent measurements of the top
 quark at the Tevatron (CDF) and LHC (ATLAS) detailing some of those
 measurements more sensitive to new physics.
