Cosmology, Gas around Galaxies and Primordial Black Holes
Solving the big problems of modern day cosmology, such as the nature of dark matter or the physics of inflation, requires extracting information from small scales and non-linear structures such as galactic halos. I design simulations which include not only the dark matter but massive neutrinos, hydrodynamics and other baryonic effects. I will discuss my work on cosmology, including massive neutrinos and the Lyman-a forest, my work on understanding galaxy formation using the gas around galaxies, on automated data analysis using machine learning and my work on primordial black holes.
