Topic: Dark Matter
Speaker bio: Dr. Ethan Nadler is an assistant professor at the University of California, San Diego in the Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics.
His research focuses on galaxy formation, dark matter, and near-field cosmology. In particular, he studies the formation and evolution of the faintest galaxies, the microphysical nature of dark matter, and small-scale cosmic structure. He tackles these problems using cosmological simulations, semi-analytic models of the galaxy–halo connection, dark matter theory, and observations of dwarf galaxies and strong gravitational lenses.
He is involved in building an inclusive scientific community through mentoring, outreach and community service, and teaching.
He is a co-convener of the Dark Energy Science Collaboration (DESC) Dark Matter Working Group and a member of the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Milky Way working group, Satellites Around Galactic Analogs Survey (SAGA), and DECam Local Volume Exploration Survey (DELVE).
