The&nbsp;nature and interactions of dark matter remain one of the great&nbsp;puzzles of fundamental physics.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <div><span><span><span style="color:#000000"><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span style="color:black">The&nbsp;wealth&nbsp;of&nbsp;knowledge which is&nbsp;and&nbsp;will soon be available from astrophysical surveys will reveal new information about our universe.&nbsp;I will discuss new ways to use current and upcoming data sets to improve our understanding&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;particle&nbsp;content of our universe both at large and small scales.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>
