Professor Savvas Koushiappas specializes in interface cosmology and particle physics, with significant work focused on dark matter physics and the search for the nature of dark matter particles from both experimental and theoretical perspectives. His research interests include the implications of dark matter particle properties, such as mass and couplings, for the large-scale structure of the universe, and he is involved in disentangling diffuse high-energy astrophysical backgrounds in the context of dark matter searches. Koushiappas employs new statistical approaches to tackle a wide range of problems in his field. Additionally, he has made notable contributions to classical astrophysical problems, including galaxy formation, gravitational lensing, and gravitational waves. He joined Brown University in the summer of 2008 after serving as a postdoctoral researcher at the Theoretical Division of Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Department of Physics at ETH Zurich. Koushiappas earned his Ph.D. from Ohio State University in 2004.
