Hi, I’m Djuna (how to pronounce my name), researcher in theoretical particle physics, astro-particle physics, and cosmology. I have worked on cosmic inflation, extended Higgs sectors, boson stars, phase transitions, dark matter, supernova explosions, black holes, gravitational microlensing, and gravitational waves. I am also an enthusiastic science communicator, and committed to making academia more inclusive. I am currently an Assistant Professor at the IPPP at Durham University.
Born and raised in the Netherlands, my passion for physics has brought me to the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada. My CV can be found here. Here are some extra bits about me.
