the search for dark matter and extra dimensions
Lecture
Renowned theoretical physicists Mariangela Lisanti and Nima Arkani-Hamed will discuss what are the Universe mysteries still to be explained, why the present knowledge of our Universe is incomplete and what to expect in the near future to improve it.

Mariangela Lisanti, an Assistant Professor at the Department of Physics at Princeton, is a theoretical particle physicist with diverse research interests, who has contributed significant results to high energy physics, dark matter studies, and astrophysics. Although dark matter comprises nearly 85% of the matter in the Universe, its fundamental nature remains unknown. Her research focuses on elucidating the particle and astrophysical nature of dark matter through its experimental signatures, focusing on data from the Large Hadron Collider, as well as direct and indirect detection experiments.
NIMA ARKANI-HAMED
Formerly a professor at Harvard, Arkani-Hamed currently sits on the faculty at the prestigious Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, where Einstein served from 1933 until his death in 1955. Arkani-Hamed has appeared on various television programs and newspapers talking about space, time and dimensions and the current state of theoretical physics. In 2003 he won the Gribov Medal of the European Physical Society, and in the summer of 2005 while at Harvard he won the ‘Phi Beta Kappa’ award for teaching excellence. He appeared in the 2013 documentary film Particle Fever.
