Overview

Ordinary matter constitutes a mere 16% of total matter in our universe, with the remaining 84% designated as dark matter. I seek to unveil the nature of dark matter by using the tools of cosmology, astrophysics and particle physics. My recent research is devoted to understanding

  • How does dark matter form, evolve and finally lead to our present-day universe?
  • How does dark matter interact with itself, ordinary matter and gravity?
  • How to detect it?

To help answer these questions, I developed effective field theory and studied the interaction of dark matter via nontopological solitons, neutron stars, structure formation, gravitational waves, etc. Some of the techniques developed during my research can also be used for other areas such as axions and modified gravity.

Here are a few of my research notes:
