My research focuses on the search for indirect signals from dark matter annihilation in the universe. I am also interested in the usage of neutron stars as probes for new physics, the astrophysics of the Galactic Center region, the production of TeV halos, and the evolution of massive binary stars.

Together with a number of colleagues, my most recent work centers on using stars, planets and white dwarfs as sensitive detectors of dark matter interacations. This includes detailed models aimed at understanding how dark matter gets trapped by these celestial bodies, and subsequently theramlizes or annihilates to change the observable properties of the body.
