◆ Created simulated data sets utilizing $83k Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud credits.◆ Built software for numerical cosmological simulations that produces maps of the sky using ~10x less memory.◆ Led team initiatives like organizing and moderating weekly institute-wide meetings with up to 40 attendees and co-advising a PhD student.◆ Developed simulations.

Pasadena, California, United States

◆ Implemented a galaxy evolution model, calibrated it with statistical inference methods and used it to transform simulated data sets.◆ Built a probabilistic model to mitigate systematic errors in the analyses of spatial clustering of galaxies.◆ Created and analysed large simulated data sets in preparation of the future space missions Euclid and the Wide.

• Developed software for numerical simulations that outputs ready-to-use data, reducing data volume by ~100x.
• Ran simulations with ~10^10 resolution elements on a distributed computing cluster.
• Produced, analyzed and modelled 30+ TB of data for international collaborations (Dark Energy Survey, Euclid).Technologies: C, MPI, Python, Numpy, Matplotlib, Bash, Unix, Bayesan Statistics, MATLABFor astronomers:
• Optimized code parameters of COLA (COmoving Lagrangian Acceleration) fast method for cosmological simulations, in compromise between computational cost and recovered accuracy.
• Wrote new code modules to produce light cone outputs on-the-fly. Validated them for the production of consistent weak lensing observables and galaxy mock catalogues for joint analyses.
• Estimated covariance matrices for clustering observables with large ensambles of simulations.
