| Report |
I am a postdoctoral researcher working on neutrinos and dark matter (DM) candidates of astrophysical origin. As a member of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory collaboration, I was honored to be selected for an invited plenary talk at LA THUILE 2025 – Les Rencontres de Physique de la Vallée d'Aoste, a prominent particle physics conference now in its 37th edition. In my talk, I presented the latest results from IceCube, highlighting our broad scientific program with a focus on recent developments in particle physics. Attending this conference allowed me to establish valuable connections relevant to my personal research on direct dark matter detection using large Cherenkov light detectors, with promising collaborations currently taking shape. It also provided a fantastic opportunity to engage with the broader particle physics community. I left the conference inspired and full of new ideas for the future of astroparticle physics. |
