Heavy non-annihilating dark matter captured by neutron stars can trigger collapse into low-mass black holes, producing subsolar-mass mergers detectable by gravitational wave observatories. These events probe dark matter-nucleon interactions at cross-sections below the neutrino floor and dark matter masses from … Read More

Dark matter direct detection is dominated by a landscape of macroscopic detectors. How then can quantum sensors, such as an atom interferometer compete? In this talk I will outline recent work on how large coherent enhancements amplify dark matter signals … Read More

In the standard lore the decay of the false vacuum of a single-field potential is described by a semi-classical Euclidean bounce configuration that can be found using overshoot/undershoot algorithms, and whose action suppresses exponentially the decay rate. While this is generically correct, the … Read More

Extracting reliable physical information from collider data requires a combination of mathematical, computational and statistical tools to model observed distributions, often with the help of powerful simulations. But when simulations cannot be fully trusted, data-driven approaches become indispensable. In this … Read More

In this lecture, I will touch upon the development of methods and examples of the use of simulations in studying basic phenomena such as hydration of biomolecules, ligand binding, mechanisms related to biological function. We will also focus on the … Read More

The precise determination of parton distribution functions (PDFs) is essential for accurate predictions of observables at hadron colliders. In this seminar, we will explore two complementary aspects of the future of PDF studies. The first concerns the potential of upcoming … Read More
