Research group Astroparticle Physics

In astroparticle physics we are interested in the constituents of the Universe, most notably the nature of dark matter. In our research we connect elementary particle physics, astronomy and astrophysics to explore the dark matter, both theoretically, but also phenomenologically together with experimental groups.

Exploring physics beyond the Standard Model

Anna Obertacke comes from Germany and conducted research in Japan for several years before joining as a senior lecturer at Fysikum. "I'm searching for particles or phenomena predicted in theories that nobody has ever detected or measured before. The tool for my search is the IceCube Neutrino Observatory located at South Pole in Antarctica."

Turning the ghostly substance into actual light

Postdoctor Andrea Gallo is a researcher in astroparticle physics at Fysikum, Stockholm University. He was born in Turin, Italy, and in 2019 he did his PhD at the Gran Sasso Science Institute in L’Aquila. In March 2021 he came to Stockholm and Fysikum. He's now working in the ALPHA experiment. Together with Jan Conrad he will be working on a project developing a framework for the simulation and analysis of axion experiments (dubbed ASSAI). The project is funded by a grant of the Olle Engkvist foundation.
