In the past years, I have been working on several different topics in theoretical cosmology, focusing on the computational and numerical aspects of the problems.
This involved the modification and extension of existing codes as well as the development and design of new software tools.
In particular, I am (have been) working on:
Constrained simulations of the local Universe,
working on the generation of constrained Initial Conditions with the software tools
Ginnungagap and
IceCore (for which I have developed an MPI-parallel version). Within the CLUES collaboration
I designed the so-called
Local Group Factory,
a numerical pipeline to simulate Local Group-like objects within a large scale environment that matches current observations.
N-body simulations of Coupled (scalar Field) Dark Energy models, extending my customized
GADGET-2 version and developing
a series of new tools (such as the MPI-parallel
Merger Tree code).
