Nominator's project description

Prof. Perez is an expert in theoretical elementary-particle physics, in particular in models of phenomena that are beyond the standard model of particles and interactions. His insights guide experiments that aim to uncover the origins and composition of the elusive dark matter. In Germany, he will work closely with experimentalists to design experiments looking for ultralight galactic dark matter and possible dark matter halos around the Earth and the Sun.
