We have shown that Fermi-LAT, H.E.S.S. and CTA instruments are capable of probing neutrino signals from dark matter annihilation and able to distinguish neutrino flavors JCAP 1602 (2016) no.02, 038 [arxiv:1511.05967] and later showed that Fermi-LAT and H.E.S.S. line searches from dark matter annihilation can be improved. MNRAS 461(4): 3976-3981 (2016) [arxiv:1602.08501]

We have probed for gamma-ray signals from dark matter decays using
Fermi-LAT satellite. Due to the absence of excess events above background expectations we were able to place the strongest limits on the dark matter lifetime for low dark matter masses.

Dark Matter Simulation
Dark Matter in 3D
Dark Matter simulations help us understand what is the dark matter distribution in galaxies. This distribution is paramount in the probe for dark matter annihilations in galaxies using the NASA satellite, Fermi-LAT, as well as the Cherenkov telescopes such as H.E.S.S. and CTA. Our group has published results in high impact journals on this topic. See: JCAP 1803 (2018) no.03, 010, arXiv:1711.03133 or Phys.Rev. D96 (2017) no.8, 083002, arXiv:1706.01505
