Chisari will describe her efforts to build and test models of the large-scale structure of the universe using a combination of analytical theory\, cosmological simulations and existing observational data sets. Looking ahead to the next decade\, she will describe how we construct and test cosmological model predictions for their application to one of the major upcoming dark energy experiments\, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope.

Rice DESCRIPTION:Emily L. Rice\, Ph.D.\, associate professor\, Department of Engineering Science & Physics\, College of Staten Island\, City University of New York\, will present “Are We Alone in the Universe?” \nThe answer to the question “Are we alone in the Universe?” might rely on some unexpected characters: stars much cooler than the Sun\, planets larger and hotter than Jupiter\, and enigmatic in-between objects called “brown dwarfs.” I will describe all of these objects in the context of searching for potentially habitable exoplanets and my research on the atmospheres of low-mass stars\, brown dwarfs\, and directly-imaged exoplanets. Time permitting\, I will describe my innovative outreach projects\, which incorporate fashion and performance into science communication.
