Research Profile: 

One of the greatest mysteries in modern physics is the nature of dark matter, which seems to make up more than 80% of the matter in our universe. My work involves utilizing diverse astrophysical observables to study this mysterious substance. I've worked with microlensing, the Lyman-alpha forest, the galaxy UV luminosity function, and the cosmic microwave background, testing variety of dark matter models on a wide range of scales. My work spans numerous disciplines, ranging from statistics to astronomy to fundamental particle physics, all with the aim of shedding light on the most mysterious and intriguing substance in the known universe.
