The birth of gravitational wave astronomy has been a major recent breakthrough in physics. The recent discovery of gravitational wave signals from merger events of massive binary-black-hole (BBH) systems have prompted a renewed debate in the scientific community about the existence of primordial black holes (PBHs) of O(1-100) solar masses. These objects may have formed in the early Universe...

The analysis of strongly gravitationally lensed radio and optical images has the potential to probe dark matter (sub-)halos with masses several orders of magnitude below the mass of dwarf spheroidal galaxies. However, correctly analyzing these images is a rather complex task, since it requires a careful stochastic modeling of the source, the lense, and the instrumental characteristics. ...
