Research interests:

• My research focuses on Feebly Interacting Massive Particles (FIMPs) as dark matter candidates in non-standard early cosmologies. By going beyond the conventional ΛCDM framework, I aim to understand how a modified thermal history affects the production of FIMPs. A central goal is to characterize the distinctive, non-cold dark matter (NCDM) signatures that arise in these scenarios, particularly their imprint on cosmological observables such as the Lyman-α forest. This approach could open new paths to probing both the nature of dark matter and the thermal history of the early Universe.
