Several astrophysical and cosmological phenomena are consistent with the existence of a non-luminous, non-interacting “Dark Matter.” In this talk I describe efforts to detect Cold Dark Matter with particle experiments and the current limits. I then give an overview of the astrophysical constraints on Warm, Self-Interacting, and Fuzzy Dark Matter and a future outlook on Dark Matter searches.

Prof. Emma Tolley: Emma Tolley conducts research in the field of astrophysics, with particular reference to radio astronomy. She leverages high-performance computing (HPC) and data science for the efficient, automated computation and analysis of Big Data produced by scientific infrastructures such as the Square Kilometre Array Observatory radio telescope. In 2023, the Swiss National Science Foundation awarded her an SNSF Starting Grant for her Deep Waves research project. Her previous experience includes working on the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. This appointment will strengthen astrophysics at EPFL.
