Unraveling the Veil of Darkness

To define is to limit.

— Oscar Wilde · The Picture of Dorian Grey

I am an astroparticle physicist with expertise in multimessenger astronomy and dark matter (DM) detection. My research focuses on three key areas:

  1. Supernova-neutrino-boosted DM
  2. Anomaly heating from DM in compact stars
  3. Probing DM self-interactions and DM-nucleon interactions in the Sun and Earth

The first area is particularly vital as it opens the new possibility for direct DM mass measurements using time-of-flight techniques. I also collaborate with DUNE/COHERENT members and work on reducing systematic uncertainties in DUNE-like detectors. Additionally, I contributed to the JUNO collaboration, assessing its data analysis to solar-captured DM. My background in astroparticle physics and extensive research experience have provided me with a deep understanding of DM and its broader implications to our Universe.
