معرفی
Benjamin Safdi is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Michigan, part of the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts. His research focuses on the particle nature of dark matter, combining astrophysical observations with theoretical models to explore electromagnetic signatures of dark matter in gamma-rays and X-rays. He also develops precision laboratory tests for particle dark matter models, investigating how dark matter interacts with electromagnetic fields.
Professor Safdi leads a research group including graduate students and post-doctoral researchers. He was awarded the DOE Early Career Award in 2018 to support his work. His studies aim to uncover the microscopic properties of dark matter and its role in galaxy formation, potentially revealing new insights into fundamental physics.
His affiliations include collaborations with institutions like Fermilab and the Dark Energy Survey. Recent projects include probing dark matter's interactions using cosmic data and advancing experimental techniques to detect subtle dark matter effects in laboratory settings.
