In the past decades, the standard model of cosmology, the inflationary lambda CDM model, has had remarkable success at predicting the observed structure of the universe over many scales of space and time. However, to this day, very little is known about the fundamental nature of its principal constituents: the inflationary field(s), dark matter, and dark energy. In the coming decade, new...

In this talk I will discuss relevant environment effects (i.e., accretion disk, tidal gravitational field from close objects) that influence the formation and dynamics of extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs), which are important sources for space borne gravitational wave detectors such as LISA. I will show that disk-assisted EMRIs may be more commonly seen by LISA. They can be distinguished...

Planets in our solar system can be divided into rocky terrestrials as large as the Earth vs. gassy giants as small as Neptune. Planets outside of our solar system, on the other hand, look nothing like our own, with most of these detected exoplanets falling right in between the size of the Earth and Neptune. I will describe the underlying physics that drives the huge diversity in the observed...
