Simpson’s paradox in Galactic Archaeology

Simpson’s paradox in Galactic Archaeology

Simpson’s paradox in Galactic Archaeology Galactic Archaeologists use the observed stellar kinematics, chemical abundances, and derived ages as fossil records to recover the chemo-dynamical history of the Milky Way. Some chemo-kinematical relations believed to...
General relativity and extreme-mass-ratio binaries

General relativity and extreme-mass-ratio binaries

General relativity and extreme-mass-ratio binaries In this talk, I will give a broad and largely non-technical overview of general relativity and strong gravitational two-body systems, from the status of their theoretical modeling to their observation via...
Looking for Partially-Massless Gravity

Looking for Partially-Massless Gravity

Looking for Partially-Massless Gravity I will summarize the status of the search for a unitary theory of partially-massless (PM) spin-two field interacting with Gravity in arbitrary dimensions. The talk is based on the paper...
A New Era in the Quest for Dark Matter

A New Era in the Quest for Dark Matter

A New Era in the Quest for Dark Matter The existence of dark matter has been discussed for more than a century. In the 1970s, astronomers and cosmologists have then begun to build what is today a compelling body of evidence for this elusive component of the universe....
