Biography
Amir Abdulgadir is a sophomore double major in physics and philosophy at Howard University. He is interested in astrophysics, particularly the role of dark matter in shaping galaxies and the large-scale structure of the universe.
His current research focuses on using stellar streams to study dark matter halos in galaxies beyond the Milky Way. Working with data from the Euclid mission, he analyzes morphological catalogs to identify faint tidal features and better understand how galaxies evolve. Through this work, he is building experience in data analysis, computational methods, and connecting theory with observation.
Alongside physics, Amir studies philosophy to explore deeper questions about knowledge and the limits of scientific understanding. This perspective shapes how he approaches research, combining technical work with broader reflection on what it means to study the universe.
