D.Phil thesis
Research Areas
I work on theories beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. I'm particularly interested in finding out some of the properties of particle dark matter, which makes up most of the matter in our Galaxy and the Universe. An exciting possibility is that dark matter is a supersymmetric particle, thus providing a link with theories that stabilise the weak scale.
