What we study
The lab studies hypothetical particles called axions and extremely low-frequency gravitational waves from the early universe. They use pulsar data and new analysis methods to detect these cosmic 'fossils'.

- Indirect detection of hot dark matter
2025 · Journal of High Energy Physics
Models how light, stable dark matter particles like axions form density profiles around galaxies and sets limits on their interactions.
- Ultralight Dark Matter Statistics for Pulsar Timing Detection
2025 · Physical Review Letters
Develops a statistical method to account for dark matter field coherence in pulsar timing searches for ultralight dark matter.
