<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Cosmology is entering a golden era with the coming decade bringing a wealth of multiwavelength observations of the cosmos. Unfortunately, relating these precision observations to the sought after primordial processes
is complex due to the non-linear processes that have governed the evolution of the universe. In this talk I will describe the role that cosmological simulations can play in untangling primordial signals from late-time astrophysical processes. These approaches
will shed new light on aspects from the number of fields present during inflation to the strength of interactions to symmetries of inflation. I will conclude by describing ongoing efforts to combine these approaches with new measurements, such as those by
the Atacama Cosmology Telescope and Simons Observatory.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:black">In a strong gravitational lens, a background source galaxy appears multiple times, because its light is deflected by an intervening foreground galaxy’s mass. Lens modeling reverses the
source galaxy’s deflected emission and reconstructs the foreground lens’s projected gravitational potential at an unprecedented level of detail, providing Astronomer’s with a powerful tool to study the Universe. I present the first measurement of a supermassive
black hole (SMBH) mass using strong lensing, detecting a $\log_{10}(M_{\text{BH}}/M_{\odot}) = 3.27 \pm 2.12 \times 10^{10}$ SMBH in the $z = 0.451$ lens Abell 1201. I discuss the potential for lensing to measure additional SMBH masses and its implications
for black hole demographics. I then explore how strong lensing enhances traditional studies of galaxy structure, revealing complex features such as boxiness, diskiness, asymmetric twists, lopsidedness, and stellar-to-dark matter offsets—features that challenge
our current understanding of galaxy formation. Finally, I demonstrate how unseen dark matter substructures perturb lensed emission, providing a unique opportunity to test different dark matter models, provided that we can overcome limitations in our knowledge
of galaxy mass distributions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

I'll show why this is not necessarily the case, and that we have to be a little more cautious about predicting cluster size from their beginnings. After a few years - this project finally came to a conclusion, so I will recap what we found.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
