Biography

I am a Cosmological Data Analysis Fellow in the Department of Astronomy at the University of Arizona. My research interests include multi-probe cosmology with the lensing and clustering of galaxy clusters, voids and galaxies as well as the galaxy-halo connection down to small scales. I have extensive experience in applying halo occupation distribution methods to N-body simulations to model and emulate novel combinations of cosmological observables down to small scales. My current work is focused on modeling optical cluster projection effects to enable small scale cosmological analyses of cluster lensing and clustering observables. I am also an organizer of the recent Beyond Two Point Data Challenge (those interested in participating can find mocks here: https://github.com/ANSalcedo/Beyond2ptMock ).
