Adam 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.

Read MoreAstrophysics provides evidence for the existence and distribution of dark matter via gravitational effects. In addition, we can use astrophysics and cosmology data to learn about dark matter’s non-gravitational interactions, providing information about the particle nature of dark matter complementary to that obtained in experiments on Earth.
Read MoreThe unusual word `phenomenology’ refers to the study of various observable phenomena related to dark matter. Here, we focus on the ways theoretical descriptions of dark matter may be tested in laboratory experiments.
Read MoreTwo leading theoretical candidates for dark matter are WIMPs and WISPs, which stand for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles and Weakly Interacting Slim Particles.
