Title: Massive Black Holes: Insights from Cosmological Simulations.

Abstract:

The enigmatic journey of massive black holes, from the formation of a seed population in the early universe to their subsequent growth and mergers represent a vastly multi-scale phenomenon deeply intertwined with the process of galaxy formation. In this talk, I discuss the insights gleaned from cutting-edge cosmological simulations. These simulations not only provide some clues into the elusive population of Intermediate Mass Black Holes (IMBHs) but also shed light on some of the largest black holes in our Universe.
