Electroweak-Interacting Spin-1 Dark Matter and Its Phenomenology

Motoko Fujiwara is a postdoc researcher at the Technical University of Munich. She received her Bachelor of Science from Keio University in 2014, her Master of Science from Nagoya University in 2017, and her Ph.D. of Science from Nagoya University in 2022 completing the work on electroweak-interacting dark matter. She worked as a postdoc researcher at the University of Tokyo and moved to the current position. Impressed by the fact that microscopic theories of elementary particles dominates macroscopic-scale systems such as the Universe, she focuses on particle physics and particle phenomenology.  Besides scientific research, she is also engaging in science communications. Motivated to promote reality of science and scientists, she organized a voluntary group of students who are interested in science communication and outreach activities, and released online articles to introduce mysteries in the Universe such as dark matter and the matter-antimatter asymmetry. These outreach activities were awarded as Nagoya University President's Award in March 2022.
