About Jan

Jan Conrad is Professor of Astroparticle Physics in the Department of Physics at Stockholm University. He leads the Dark Matter and Astroparticle Physics (DMAP) group and has served as Head of Department (prefekt) at Fysikum. His research focuses on astrophysical searches for particle dark matter, encompassing indirect detection with gamma-ray telescopes including the Fermi Large Area Telescope, H.E.S.S., and preparations for the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), as well as direct detection experiments such as XENON1T, XENONnT, DARWIN, and axion dark matter searches using resonant cavities like ALPHA. Conrad collaborates on statistical methods and inference tools like GAMBIT, addressing challenges in analyzing rare events from low-background detectors and connecting elementary particle physics, astrophysics, and statistics.
