A bit about me . . .

There are various compelling astronomical evidence which indicate a huge amount of mass of our Universe is missing. Scientists have estimated that our Universe comprises  ~ 27 % dark matter while only 5% is the `visible' matter including all colossal galaxies. Dark matter (DM) doesn't interact with the electromagnetic radiation, which makes this to be invisible or `dark'. It is believed that DM particles are electrically neutral, self-collisionless and only interacts gravitationally. Most physicists believe that no standard model particles can be dark matter. Additionally, almost no interaction (might be in weak scale)  with the 'visible luminous' matter makes very difficult and challenging to detect strange DM particle(s) over last 30 years. Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) is the predilection of the community as dark matter candidates. People are trying to detect DM experimentally in a various way: direct search, indirect search and collider search. I'm now working on one of the leading direct dark matter search experiments in the world, Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (SuperCDMS) based in the USA. The next generation of SuperCDMS will be in SNOALB, Sudbury, Canada.
