h1. Cosmology with the largest galaxy cluster surveys: Going beyond Fisher matrix forecasts
We make the first detailed MCMC likelihood study of cosmological constraints that are expected from some of the largest, ongoing and proposed, cluster surveys in different wave-bands and compare the estimates to the prevalent Fisher matrix forecasts.

h2. Star-Galaxy Classification in Multi-Band Optical Imaging.
Ground-based optical surveys such as PanSTARRS, DES, and LSST, will produce large catalogs to limiting magnitudes of r > 24. Star-galaxy separation poses a major challenge to such surveys because galaxies---even very compact galaxies---outnumber halo stars at these depths

h2. The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Cross-Correlation of CMB Lensing and Quasars
We measure the cross-correlation of Atacama Cosmology Telescope CMB lensing convergence maps with quasar maps made from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey DR8 SDSS-XDQSO photometric catalog.
