I have performed searches for new fundamental physical phenomena on a number of experiments at accelerators worldwide. Meanwhile, the clearest sign of completley new physics today is the astrophsyical observation of non-baryonic Dark Matter. Naturally, as an accelerator-based particle physicist, the question becomes "can we study Dark Matter with accelerators." The answer is, emphatically, "yes" for a number of interesting dark sector models.  My research focuses searching for evidence of these scenarios at particle accelerators.
