The existence of dark matter is inferred through its gravitational interaction with ordinary &ldquo;baryonic&rdquo; matter and light, and it is essential in driving gas and dust to build up into stars and galaxies. I work on the phenomenology of dark matter models like the weakly interacting massive particle and the axion.</p>
