Islamabad, February 17, 2025 – The ECO Science Foundation (ECOSF) in collaboration with the Institute of Physics and Knowledge Integration (IPKI) organized a thought-provoking webinar titled “Dark Matter: A Hidden World in Our Universe.” The session featured Dr. Muhammad Rehman, an esteemed physicist and Assistant Professor at COMSATS University Islamabad.

With a Ph.D. from the University of Cantabria, Spain, and eight years of teaching and research experience in particle physics phenomenology, Dr. Rehman specializes in supersym  metric models and high-energy physics. His research focuses on Higgs decays, dark matter interactions, and lepton flavor violations. Apart from his academic contributions, he is an active science communicator, striving to make complex physics concepts accessible to the public through social media.

Dr. Rehman discussed one of modern physics’ greatest enigmas—dark matter—which constitutes nearly 85% of the universe’s matter yet remains undetectable through direct observation. His talk explored the gravitational effects of dark matter on galaxies, cutting-edge experiments aimed at uncovering its identity, and theoretical models like Supersymmetry (SUSY) that may provide answers. He also discussed the challenges that scientists are faced with studying an invisible entity and its profound implications for fundamental physics.

The webinar attracted students, researchers, and science enthusiasts, sparking engaging discussions on the mysteries of the cosmos.
