I am an astroparticle physicist with expertise in dark matter detection through multimessenger astronomy.

Venturing into the Hidden Universe at Cosmic Frontier

To define is to limit.

— Oscar Wilde · The Picture of Dorian Gray

Dark matter helps shape galaxies and the large-scale structure of the Universe, yet its nature remains one of the deepest mysteries in physics. As an astroparticle physicist, I look to the sky for clues, searching for its signatures in astronomical observations of supernovae, stars, compact stars, and the circumstellar medium. These environments offer windows into how dark matter might interact with ordinary matter, leaving subtle traces in stellar light and heat. I also investigate how dark matter transport within stellar objects can influence their evolution, using the lives of stars to explore the unseen particles that may surround us.
