Professor Murgia's main interest is understanding the nature of dark matter. She searches for debris produced by dark matter particles annihilating in space. Some of that debris might include gamma rays and she uses the data collected by Fermi LAT, a space based experiment that is sensitive to gamma rays, to search for a signal.

Ph.D. Physics, 2002, Michigan State University
