He will show the audience how physicists seek dark matter collisions in highly sensitive detectors buried deep under the Earth’s surface; watch for signatures of dark matter annihilations in space; and even try to produce fresh dark matter in particle colliders. We may even visit the spooky realm of quantum mechanics for clues.

Based at University College London, Ghag researches novel technologies to detect dark matter. He is also the current chair of the dark matter UK consortium and the chair of the STFC’s particle astrophysics advisory panel.
