Abstract:

85% of the matter in the Universe is missing. Among the various theories for what this missing "dark matter" could be is  a new particle, the axion. In my talk, I discuss novel techniques to look for this particle using signals in the radio spectrum and in gravitational waves. These imprints are complementary to the conventional laboratory searches and can provide further insight both on the history of the universe and the structure of the Milky Way.
