Tadeja Veršič is a member of the Vienna International School of Earth and Space Sciences (VISESS). In her PhD thesis at the University of Vienna, she aims to unravel the mystery of dark matter.

"Dark matter is one of the biggest mysteries in modern astrophysics. We don't know exactly where it is or how it is distributed. But what we do know is that it influences the motion of stars and galaxies", explains Tadeja Veršič. Through building physical models, Tadeja Veršič tries to shed some light on dark matter to better understand its nature. "This discovery is very important because it helps to gain insight how galaxies formed and evolved!"

In the PhD Video, she gives an insight into her research.
