Welcome!
My name is Florent Leclercq. I am a Research Fellow at the Imperial Centre for Inference and Cosmology, Imperial College London. I work in the fields of theoretical and observational cosmology, focusing in particular on the analysis of galaxy survey data. I have been a member of the Aquila Consortium since it was created, in 2016. I am also a member of the Euclid Consortium.
My current research interests are related to the study of the cosmological large-scale structure using statistical data analysis tools. I am particularly interested constraining cosmology from the large-scale structure, in the initial conditions from which it originates, its formation history and the description of the cosmic web.
Please check the full version of my CV, my list of publications and my list of communications.

Evolution of cosmological simulations over the last 50 years
I recently scanned the literature for the purpose of following and plotting the number of particles used in \(N\)-body simulations over the last five decades.
