My research addresses the detection and identification of dark matter, combining theoretical and experimental aspects. I develop tools for the determination of dark matter parameters, devise strategies to exploit the complementarity of the different experimental techniques, and explore particle physics models. I actively contribute to the experimental search of dark matter particles as principal investigator of the UAM group in SuperCDMS.

My research addresses new indirect astrophysical probes of Beyond the Standard Model physics, with particular attention to signals due to the interaction of DM in astrophysical compact scenarios, such as white dwarfs, neutron stars and active galactic nuclei. In the last years I have also broad my research expertise to the study on new neutrino physics in supernova environments and their effects on the dynamics of supernovae and proto-neutron stars.

ANDRES DANIEL PEREZ
Postdoctoral Fellow
ORCID
My research is focused on particle phenomenology in the Standard Model and beyond, with special emphasis on dark matter. I develop and apply Machine Learning techniques in collider searches, direct and indirect dark matter experiments, and supersymmetric models, considering the complementarity of different experimental signatures.
My publications can be found here.

DAVID ALONSO GONZÁLEZ
UAM TA Fellowship
ORCID
I am a PhD fellow at the Instituto de Física Teórica (UAM/CSIC) in Madrid. My research addresses particle phenomenology, focusing on new neutrino physics and on the detection of dark matter. My work combines a theoretical approach, exploring new models of particle physics and developing strategies to explore the complementarity possibilities of the different dark matter detection techniques, with an experimental approach thanks to my participation in the SuperCDMS collaboration, aimed to detect dark matter particles through their interaction with ordinary matter.

My research focuses on phenomenological aspects of Dark Matter and neutrinos. Specifically, I explore models of DM-neutrino and neutrino self-interactions with current and future cosmological, astrophysical and particle physics data
International Members
I am a postdoctoral research fellow at the Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT-UAM) in Madrid. My main research interests are focused around the study of astro-particles and their role in the current understanding of our universe, analysing data from different scales (from the CMB and large scale structure, to galaxy properties and terrestrial experiments).
Also, I am part of the superCDMS collaboration, a direct detection experiment in which we try to develop novel techniques for exploring low-mass dark matter.
In addition, as part of all this research I like to apply machine learning techniques to different physics problems trying to learn as much as possible from the data that we have.
You can visit my personal website where I post my recent publications and the codes that I developed.
