Title: Stress-testing cold dark matter on small scales with cluster lensing

Abstract: I discuss recent results of stress-testing the cold dark matter paradigm with cluster lensing using state of the art simulations and high-resolution lensing mass models derived from Hubble Space Telescope data. The exquisite resolution of the data enables construction of high fidelity mass models that permit mapping substructure on small scales within these cluster lenses.
