Arpit Arora

Arpit Arora is a Research Fellow at the University of Washington's Department of Astronomy. His research focuses on dark matter's role in galaxy formation and evolution, particularly in the Milky Way. He develops computational tools to model dark matter asymmetry and uses stellar streams as probes. He also explores self-interacting dark matter models.

• Education:
• Ph.D. in Physics and Astronomy, University of Pennsylvania (2024)
• B.S. in Physics and Astrophysics, University of Minnesota (2019)

His work integrates cosmological simulations and hydrodynamical modeling to address disequilibrium dynamics in galactic systems. Current projects emphasize tailoring tools for Milky Way-mass galaxies and evaluating alternative dark matter theories at galactic scales.
