Alex Drlica-Wagner

I am a Scientist in the Astrophysics Department at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, an Associate Professor in the Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics at the University of Chicago, and a senior member of the Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics.

I am PI of the DECam Local Volume Exploration Survey (DELVE), and I am a member of the Dark Energy Survey (DES), and the LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration (DESC). I also work on astronomical instrumentation and ultra-low noise Skipper CCD detector development.

While I am interested in many areas of particle astrophysics and cosmology, my research focuses on the search for dark matter. As an experimentalist, I am heavily involved in improving the instruments that I work with and the data that they take.
