Alex Drlica-Wagner Assistant Professor, Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics Education: Ph.D., Stanford University, 2013 Phone: (773) 702-7865 Location: ERC 457 Email: kadrlicauchicago.edu Webpage Affiliations: Wilson Fellow, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory; Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics Research Dark matter, dark energy, cosmology, particle astrophysics, detector development Publications: ADS | arXiv | inSPIRE Research Fields: My research focuses on using astrophysical observations to understand the fundamental nature of dark matter and dark energy. I work on large cosmic surveys including the Dark Energy Survey (DES) and the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). Recently, I have been interested in using the faintest and most dark-matter-dominated galaxies to try to understand the fundamental nature of dark matter. I consider myself to be an experimental particle cosmologist, and I am heavily invested in the instruments and infrastructure that make these large surveys possible.
