Dark Matter searches targeting Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies with the Fermi Large Area Telescope

In this thesis I present our recent work on gamma-ray searches for dark matter with the Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi-LAT). We have targeted dwarf spheroidal galaxies since they are very dark matter dominated systems, and we have developed a novel joint likelihood method to combine the observati...
