Our research group specialises in Astroparticle Physics, with emphasis on understanding the nature of the dark matter (DM) in our universe. We study particle models for DM, their phenomenological implications on theories beyond the Standard Model and strategies to detect and identify them. We also explore new ways to test new physics in the neutrino sector with direct DM detection experiments, as well as exploring the implications in astrophysical objects such as supernovae.

We are actively involved in the experimental search for DM with underground direct detection experiments. We are members of the SuperCDMS collaboration and MIGDAL.
