Victor H. Robles
I am an Astrophysicist researching fundamental aspects of the Universe. I work to unravel the dark matter nature, galaxy formation and the relation between quantum physics phenomena and astrophysics, what I like to call Quantum Astrophysics.

Is Dark Matter Fuzzy?
A tiny dark matter particle mass induces wave-like properties in the dark matter density field that leads to overdensity ripples, these could leave an imprint in the IGM in Clusters of galaxies.
Highlights
Wave Dark Matter
This is one of our simulations of ultra light/wave dark matter revealing that not only light and sound, but also dark matter displays wave interference and turbulence all over the Universe.
Highlights
Galaxy Formation
Numerical simulations are a way to understand the dark matter distribution in cosmological scales and through it how galaxies form and evolve.

Highlights
Quantum Astrophysics
Using detail observations of galaxies at multiple wavelenghts and following a new approach to the interpretation of de Broglie–Bohm theory, I aim to connect the quantum physics realm with Astrophysics.
