A precision observable for precision cosmologyUpcoming stage-IV cosmological surveys will allow humankind to study the Universe in unprecedented detail. The leap in both quantity and quality of data compared to stage-III surveys will firmly place the community in the era of "precision cosmology".One intriguing aspect of new surveys is the plethora of new probes that ...

Using the post-Newtonian formalism to understand theories of gravity in cosmology I am going to split up my talk into two parts. In the first part I am going to show how we can use an extended version of the parameterized post-Newtonian formalism to parameterize theories of gravity in the cosmological background, as well as in the perturbations on non-linear and ...
Air Around Us: Science, Technology, and Health: CEE Spring Distinguished LectureThis lecture features three vignettes that illustrate recent advances in knowledge about the air we breathe. First, airplanes fly through areas where high ozone levels occur naturally; exposures in the cabin raise health concerns in part owing to the volatile byproducts of ozone’s reactions with skin oils. Second, in the ...
