Novel summary statistics beyond the standard 2-point correlation function (2PCF) are necessary to capture the full astrophysical and cosmological information from the small-scale (r < 30Mpc/h) galaxy clustering. However, the analysis of…
Present and future large scale surveys offer promising probes of cosmology. For example the Dark Energy Survey (DES) is forecast to detect ~300 millions galaxies and thousands clusters up to redshift ~1.3. I here show ongoing work to…
Over the last decades, cosmological simulations of galaxy formation have been instrumental for advancing our understanding of structure and galaxy formation in the Universe. These simulations follow the non-linear evolution of galaxies…
As galaxy surveys become more precise and push to smaller scales, the need for accurate covariances beyond the classical Gaussian formula becomes more acute. Here, I investigate the analytical implementation and impact of non-Gaussian…

Galaxy clusters are a promising probe of late-time structure growth, but constraints on cosmology from cluster abundances are currently limited by systematics in their inferred masses. One unmitigated systematic effect in weak-lensing mass…

A basic ingredient to understand large scale fluctuations in our present day Universe is the initial conditions. Using N-body simulations, we compare the clustering that arises from Gaussian and non-Gaussian initial conditions. The latter…
We use the Gigaparsec WiggleZ (GiggleZ) simulations to characterise galaxy bias and its scale dependence for a range of redshifts and halo masses in a standard $\Lambda$LCDM cosmology. Assuming bias converges to a scale independent form at…
