The existence of dark matter is one of the Universes great mysteries. All stars, planets, and interstellar gas are made from atoms, and yet atomic matter represents only 15% of the total matter in the Universe. The remaining 85% is dark matter. Dark matter provides the cosmic foundation for galaxies to form, but its microphysical properties remain unknown. Dr. Tulin's research provides new directions toward discovering dark matters elusive particle nature. By combining astrophysical measurements from dwarf galaxies to galaxy clusters, he is developing new ideas to illuminate dark matters particle dynamics through its effect on cosmic structure.

暗物质的存在是宇宙最大的谜团之一。所有恒星、行星和星际气体都是由原子组成的，但原子物质仅占宇宙总物质的 15%。 剩下的85%是暗物质。暗物质为星系的形成提供了宇宙基础，但其微观物理特性仍然未知。图林博士的研究为发现暗物质难以捉摸的粒子性质提供了新的方向。通过结合从矮星系到星系团的天体物理测量，他正在开发新的想法，通过暗物质粒子对宇宙结构的影响来阐明其动力学。
