Research interests:
My work addresses the phenomenology of some promising particle dark matter scenarios, from production in the early universe to potential detections through specific and complementary cosmological and astrophysical signals. I am particularly interested in the 21cm line and cosmic microwave background as probes of exotic physics and dark matter models (particles or primordial black holes). In addition, I have developped an expertise in the dark matter structuring properties and their consequences for observations.
Most of my projects involve developing or improving existing codes written in C/C++, python, and Julia.
Keywords: Dark matter, cosmology, particle physics, astrophysics, galactic dynamics, phenomenology, high energy physics, 21cm, cosmic microwave background
