##Research Summary
The central concern of my research is the search for physics beyond the Standard Model in general, and in specific the detection of dark matter. I’m interested in direct and indirect probes of dark matter from astrophysical to bench-top scales. My research is primarily theoretical, but straddles the boundaries with computational and experimental physics.
