our aim is to understand the fundamental natures of dark matter and dark energy. together, these ingredients make up 95% of the energy density of our universe, and yet we do not know the origins of this dark universe in terms of elementary particles or forces. we are not doing this on our own though. we are playing our part in global efforts to uncover the mysteries of the dark universe, one of the most challenging outstanding problems in modern physics. ​ our focus is the applications of powerful mathematical frameworks, including quantum field theory, which allow us to describe how subatomic particles move and interact with one another at the microscopic level. this allows us to make predictions of what theories of dark matter and dark energy mean for astrophysics, cosmology, gravitation and particle physics.
