This was the main simulation paper for the OverWhelmingly Large Simulations (OWLS) effort that I was involved with during my PhD. This paper in particular focuses on the impact that different baryonic processes can have on the global star-formation rate, amongst many other effects.

My first N-body simulation paper (as well as Letter) on the topic of "Dark matter halo concentrations in the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe year 5 cosmology" when I was based at Leiden Observatory. It demonstrated a fascinating inverse relation between the concentration (compactness) of a dark matter object and the mass of said object.

My first publication in a journal, on the subject of "Galaxy redshift surveys selected by neutral hydrogen using the Five-hundred metre Aperture Spherical Telescope". The telescope will be a fantastic survey instrument, capable of detecting millions to hundreds of millions of galaxies around us for billions of light years.
