Julian B. Muñoz, Ph.D., Asst Professor, Astronomy, University of Texas-Austin.

Dr. Munoz first appeared on Science for the Public's Contemporary Science program in November, 2018 when he was a postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard University (Physics Dept). He discussed his work as a theoretical cosmologist: Dark Matter and Other Cosmic Mysteries.

In that program, he described recent work by his team, which has explored the possibility that some charged dark matter particles interact with normal matter by electromagnetic force.

His second appearance on Contemporary Science, now as a professor at University Texas-Austin, was on March 23, 2024 to discuss Elusive Dark Matter and the Earliest Galaxies

His very informative discussion this time was about the exciting discoveries of unexpectedly early galaxies in the early universe and the role of dark matter in their development. The discoveries were made by the James Webb Space Telescope, and also by a radio telescope array, HERA.
