The unprecedented scale of upcoming galaxy surveys and simulations will fundamentally change our understanding of the Universe, but only if we have the tools to sift through mountains of data. Analysis tools must be built upon shared infrastructure that is optimized for types of problem astronomers want to solve. Building this infrastructure is fundamentally a technical problem, but providing the right abstractions for scientific work requires deep understanding of the questions scientists will ask of the data. This layer between data and information is where I focus my work.
