I study theoretical particle physics and theoretical astrophysics, with a particular interest in the nature of dark matter. This mysterious substance binds galaxies together through its gravitational interactions, but has yet to be detected directly. I work to improve our ability to detect dark matter in underground experiments, through its annihilation in the Universe today, and via direct production at the Large Hadron Collider. My research interests also include LHC phenomenology and theoretical physics beyond the Standard Model more generally.
