I have devoted my research to trying to answer one of the "big questions" in science: What is the universe made of? My research focuses on neutrinos (the most abundant known massive particle in the universe) and the search for dark matter (the unknown stuff that makes up more than 80 percent of the matter in the universe).
It's a time to reconnect with my culture and connect with the people who share this culture with me. It's a reminder that I am not alone here, that we are here and we are together.
