Unlocking the Secrets of the Universe: Exoplanets and Dark Matter

Jessie Christiansen is an astrophysicist who searches for, characterizes and catalogues planets orbiting other stars – exoplanets. She’s currently working on TESS to find the nearest planetary systems to Earth that may be studied with the next generation of ground- and space-based telescopes. Sophia Gad-Nasr is working on her PhD in cosmology and astroparticle theory and phenomenology. Her research focuses on dark matter – specifically Self-Interacting Dark Matter, a type of dark matter that experiences collisions, making galaxies cosmic particle colliders. Join @aussieastronomer and @astroparticle girl in conversation about their work and what inspired them to discover space and understand our Universe.
