Professor Darren Croton is a theoretical and numerical astrophysicist, focusing on the formation and evolution of galaxies, the role of dark matter and dark energy, and the large-scale structure and cosmology of our Universe, using both supercomputer simulations and large observational data sets.
Read MoreJustin Leontini is an associate professor in Mechanical and Product Design Engineering at Swinburne University of Technology.
Read MoreGiulia Milana’s research area is structural engineering applied at dark matter physics experiment.
Read MoreAdam Ussing is a PhD student at Swinburne University working with Darren Croton and Alan Duffy. His research is focused on using N-body simulations to simulate different dark matter models. These simulations are then implemented in galaxy evolution models to determine the observable effects of the changes in the dark matter models.
