The What? How? And Why?
And really, Why?

IAIFI Fellow
Carol Cuesta-Lazaro
Initial Conditions of the Universe
Laws of gravity
3-D distribution of galaxies
Which are the ICs of OUR Universe?
Primordial non-Gaussianity?
Probe Inflation
Galaxy formation
3-D distribution of dark matter
Is GR modified on large scales?
How do galaxies form?
Neutrino mass hierarchy?
The Why: The limits of analytical models
But... Access to tones of data!
