I'm a graduate student in
physics at the University of Chicago
and in the Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics
(KICP). My research is currently focused on revealing the properties of
dark matter using observational
probes such as gamma-rays and tidal streams. My PhD thesis advisor is
Angela Olinto.
Composite image of the "Bullet Cluster",
two clusters of galaxies colliding. The x-ray image (red) shows the distribution
of hot gas; gravitational lensing data reveals the matter distribution (blue).
The Bullet Cluster provides strong evidence for the existence of collisionless
dark matter.
