DESCRIPTION:Title: Searching for dark matter with TRIDENTSpeaker: Dr. An
 drew Cheek (Tsung-Dao Lee Institute\, SJTU)Host: Prof. Donglian XuAbstrac
 t:The thermal WIMP paradigm remains one of the most compelling explanation
 s for dark matter. Direct detection and gamma-ray searches have led detect
 ion efforts for decades\, dramatically shrinking the viable parameter spac
 e and placing strong constraints. However\, an untested window persists an
 d the model-independent annihilation cross-section remains largely unexplo
 red above 1 TeV. It is in this energy region that the next generation of n
 eutrino telescopes offer exceptional promise. I will present sensitivity p
 rojections for the TRIDENT deep-sea neutrino telescope to dark matter anni
 hilations in the Galactic Centre\, showing that TRIDENT can probe annihila
 tion cross-sections below the thermal freeze-out benchmark for dark matter
  masses between 1–100 TeV. Using a specific dark matter particle model\,
  I will showcase TRIDENT's complementarity with direct detection and gamma
 -ray searches.Biography:Andrew has been a postdoctoral researcher at TDLI 
 since 2024. He completed his PhD in 2019 at The University of Durham\, UK\
 , then was a postdoc at UCLouvain in Belgium\, and Astrocent in Poland. He
  is a theorist who has a broad interest in particle physics\, astrophysics
  and cosmology. The problem of dark matter provides the focus for much of 
 his work\, he has worked on dark matter particle phenomenology\, primordia
 l black hole cosmology\, axion cosmology and neutrino physics. Alternativ
