Josef Pradler

Josef Pradler is a research group leader at the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Austrian Academy of Sciences since 2014. His research is focused on astroparticle physics and cosmology with a primary focus on the dark matter problem. He made contributions in exploring the phenomenology of sub-GeV dark sectors, to stellar emission of dark photons, to probing axion-like particles through photon conversion in astrophysical settings, to big bang nucleosynthesis as a probe of new physics, among other topics.
