    Application of simulation-based inference to problems in astrophysics

    The next decade will see a deluge of new cosmological data that will enable us to accurately map out the distribution of matter in the local Universe, image...

    Constraints on Ultra-Light Dark Matter from Galactic Rotation Curves

    Bosonic ultra-light dark matter (ULDM) in the mass range m ~ $10^{-22} - 10^{-21} \rm eV$ has been invoked as a motivated candidate with new input for the small...

    Cosmic Microwave Background observations

    In the first part of this talk I will present a historical review of the CMB observations, one of the most powerful cosmological probes. Following the first...

    Cosmology on small scales: the structure of (mostly) dark matter halos

    The standard model of cosmology -- the ``Lambda cold dark matter'' model -- is based on the idea that the dark matter is a collisionless elementary particle...

    Dark matter in galaxies

    The distribution of matter in galaxies of different luminosities and Hubble types, as inferred from observations, plays an important role in cosmology...

    Globular clusters as a dynamical probe of dark matter

    Gravitational dynamical friction affecting the orbits of globular clusters (GCs) was studied extensively as a possible formation mechanism for nuclear star...

    How to use a cosmological N-body simulation as a theoretical model

    A key problem that we are facing in cosmology nowadays is that we cannot make accurate predictions with our current theoretical models. We have all of the...

    How well does galaxy clustering constrain cosmology?

    On the LCDM cosmology, dark matter collapses into virialised objects called haloes. The abundance and distribution of these haloes are a direct consequence of...

    Hunting for VIPERS red nuggets - traces of the past

    Vimos Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS) is a spectroscopic survey designed to investigate the spatial distribution of ~90k galaxies on redshift 0.4...
