Description
Computer simulations are now key tool in many scientific disciplines where the object of study is either very risky or simply impossible to experiment with it. This is the case of studying the formation and evolution of cosmic structures in the Universe. In this seminar I will review the work I have been doing during the past years in this field, from the large volume simulations for galaxy redshift surveys (JUBILEE and MULTIDARK projects), to the simulations of our own Local Universe by the CLUES collaboration.
