My primary research interests lie in history and philosophy of cosmology and astrophysics and general philosophy of science. I received my PhD in History and Philosophy of Science from the University of Pittsburgh (USA) in 2020. I completed an M.A. in philosophy and a B.Sc. in physics at KU Leuven (Belgium).
The existence of dark matter is well-supported: there is a wide range of empirical evidence for a novel type of matter that has important gravitational effects on the evolution of our universe. But beyond the fact that it has gravitational effects, all that is known is that dark matter is unlike anything studied by particle physics so far.
