After her PhD she was a Postdoctoral fellow at The Kavli Institute of Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology, Stanford University.

All the galaxies and stars that we see in the Universe are thought to evolve within the potential wells of these halos. I study the formation and structure of dark matter halos and the co-evolution of galaxies within them. I use theory and simulations to interpret the observations of gravitationally bound objects, ranging from massive galaxy clusters to faint galaxies, primarily to learn about the underlying nature of dark matte","Url":"/people/susmita-adhikari/382","Score":1.1196631}
