(member since October 2019)
My research has focused predominantly on the phenomenology of particle dark matter (DM). Incorporating multiple experimental techniques and looking for novel measurements that could help differentiate between particle models. I have developed RAPIDD, a software to quickly and accurately approximates direct detection of dark matter. I am interested in combining solutions to the dark matter problem with other outstanding problems with the Standard Model.

Complementarity of dark matter searches in simplified models
Chiara Arina, Fabio Maltoni
Study of the complementarity between dark matter relic abundance, direct detection, indirect detection and collider searches applied to the dark matter simplified models. These models consider a dark matter candidate communicating to the quark (especially top) sector of the standard model via a bosonic or vectorial mediator.
External collaborators: Eric Conte (GPRHE), Benjamin Fuks (LPTHE), Jun Guo (Chinese Academy of Science), Jan Heisig (RWTH), Kentarou Mawatari (LPSC Grenoble), Michael Kraemer (RWTH), Mathieu Pellen (University of Wuerzburg).

Dark matter and neutrino masses in SUSY models
Chiara Arina
We study supersymmetric models in which modifications of the neutrino sector, to include a mass term, are connected to the dark matter sector. We analyse if the dark matter particles can be good dark matter candidates by considering cosmological and astrophysical constraints, as well as if the new neutrino sector can accommodate neutrino data.
