Lucas Valenzuela is interested in galaxy formation and evolution, and how present-day properties of galaxies can be used as indicators for their formation history. To study these, he works on cosmological hydrodynamical simulations and models of globular clusters and planetary nebulae, which he also uses to compare with observations. 

This workshop aims to summarise and expand our knowledge of AGN feedback, and celebrate Brian McNamara's landmark achievements in our field. More than twenty experts in the field will speak about the hot topics and future directions of AGN feedback in clusters and galaxies.

Dark energy is a strange and enigmatic form of energy, causing our Universe to grow and expand at an increasingly fast rate. While the exact nature of this energy remains a total mystery, new astronomical instruments are shedding light on dark energy like never before. Join us at this month's KPL astronomy talk, when Dr. Enrique Paillas will speak about the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), and what its newest results tell us about the dark Universe.

We are excited to announce a landmark conference that plans to delve into the forefront of research on modified theories of gravity and brings together leading experts from different disciplines, including observational astrophysicists, numerical relativists, cosmologists and mathematical physicists to explore the present status of modified theories of gravity and envision their future theoretical development and implications for observations.

This conference is also timed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of pioneering work in this area carried out by Gregory Horndeski in the Waterloo Mathematical Physics Community. Hosted jointly by Perimeter Institute and the University of Waterloo, this conference will serve as a forum for researchers from different disciplines to exchange ideas at the cuttingnedge of gravitational physics.
