The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) has constructed the largest 3D map of galaxies and quasars to date, spanning the nearby Universe to a redshift of over 3. Recently, DESI has released cosmological measurements from its third-year (Y3) data, revealing evidences of dynamic dark energy. In this talk, I will review the DESI results, discuss potential problems and future developments.H...
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are powered by accretion onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and play a central role in galaxy evolution by tracing SMBH growth across cosmic time. As some of the most luminous objects in the Universe, AGN provide unique laboratories for studying accretion physics and relativistic processes in extreme environments. However, the extremely small physical scales of t...
Notoriously difficult to constrain with observations and physically intricate to model in simulations, the non-thermal physics of cosmic rays (CRs) and magnetic fields (B-fields), and their effects on galaxies, remain mostly elusive. The study of these processes is timely and scientifically exigent. Current simulations are able to evolve CRs with magnetic fields in tandem with feedback from sta...

With the ever-increasing census of protoplanetary disks observed in mm emission, disk population synthesis studies have become an important tool to constrain expected disk properties and the occurrence of sub-structures. Previous studies have revealed that the observed spectral indices are consistent with ubiquitous substructures emerging at early times. However, it still remains challenging to...
The measurements of the cosmic microwave background radiation is the pillar of modern precision cosmology. In this talk, I will give a brief overview of the experimental evolution of the cosmic microwave background radiation and highlight its phenomenal success and distinctive challenges. I will also discuss the current outstanding questions in modern cosmology and the prospects of the emergenc...
Processes operating in the outer layers of the Sun’s atmosphere, the fully ionised, magnetically dominated plasma of the corona, remain one of the major unsolved puzzles in solar physics. Intensively debated research topics include the enigmatic problem of coronal heating; the rapid release of enormous amounts of magnetic energy in solar flares and coronal mass ejections; the microphysical mec...
Most exoplanets likely begin life wrapped in hydrogen–helium envelopes that interact intensely with their molten or supercritical interiors for millions to billions of years. Yet, despite their pivotal role in shaping planetary formation, evolution, and atmospheric composition, our fundamental physical and chemical understanding of these interactions remains limited, in large part because they...
Black holes have become unique tools in the understanding of a plethora of phenomena in vastly different fronts. From understanding spectacularly energetic events in our universe, from gaining insights on potential new particles to unraveling seemingly unrelated phenomena through a firm grasp of their dynamics is key. In this talk, we will connect with several of these fronts highlighting some ...
The origin of cosmic rays (CRs) remains an open question. The CR spectrum is characterized by two significant breaks: the knee at ~3 PeV (PeV=1e15 eV) and the ankle at ~3 EeV (EeV=1e18 eV). It is widely accepted that ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) above the ankle originate from extragalactic sources, with the transition energy between galactic and extragalactic components lying between ...
