Bhupal Dev awarded a Humboldt Research Fellowship

Bhupal Dev, associate professor of physics and fellow of the McDonnell Center for the Space Sciences, has recently been awarded a Humboldt Research Fellowship for experienced researchers from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. This fellowship recognizes Dev's contributions to theoretical astroparticle physics and will enable him to further his research at the Mainz Institute for Theoretical Physics (MITP) in Germany.
 

The Humboldt Research Fellowship is highly competitive and is designed to support internationally renowned scientists and scholars in pursuing long-term research projects in collaboration with German host institutions. Dev's selection for this fellowship highlights his outstanding achievements and potential to advance knowledge in theoretical physics. His research proposal deals with the connection between neutrinos and dark matter — two of the least known sectors in fundamental physics. He will make a comprehensive analysis of possible neutrino interactions with dark matter using a combination of laboratory, astrophysical and cosmological observables. 

Dev will spend the next three summers, totaling nine months, at MITP. His work there is expected to include collaborations with leading researchers from MITP and CERN, fostering academic exchange and innovation.
