	~~Abstract~~ to ~~be added~~		Shakura-Sunyaev thin disk theory is fundamental to black hole
			astrophysics. Though applications of the theory are wide-spread and
			powerful tools for explaining observations, such as Soltan's argument
			using quasar power, broadened iron line measurements of black hole
			spin, continuum fitting, and recently reverberation mapping, a
			significant large-scale magnetic field causes substantial devaitions
			from standard thin disk behavior. We have used fully 3D GRMHD
			simulations with initially ad hoc and more recently fully
			self-consistent radiative cooling, to explore the
			radiatively-efficient (i.e. thin) magnetically arrested disk (MAD)
			state. This work extends prior numerical studies of thicker disks,
			allowing us to measure how jet power scales with the disk state,
			providing a natural explanation of phenomena like jet quenching in the
			high-soft state of X-ray binaries. We additionally have simulated thin
			MAD disks with a misaligned black hole spin axis in order to
			understand further deviations from thin disk theory that may have
			implications for observations.

	~~A double~~-~~barreled talk!~~		The Large UV/Optical/IR Surveyor (LUVOIR) is a concept for a highly capable, multi-wavelength observatory with ambitious science goals. This mission would enable a great leap forward in a broad range of astrophysics, from the epoch of reionization, through galaxy formation and evolution, to star and planet formation. LUVOIR also has the major goal of characterizing habitable exoplanets around Sun-like stars and searching them for signs of life.

			LUVOIR is one of four Decadal Survey Mission Studies initiated in Jan 2016. The final report will be submitted to NASA and then the National Academies in 2019. Here I will summarize LUVOIR’s broad and revolutionary science goals. I’ll explain our current vision for the instrument suite and aperture sizes to be studied. Finally, I’ll discuss the study process and what will happen over the next years in preparation for the 2020 Decadal Survey.

	'''Revealing ~~Intensity Fluctuations~~ with LSS ~~Tracers~~''' <br>		'''Revealing CII Emission with LSS Cross-correlations''' <br>
	~~Abstract~~ to be ~~added~~		The CII emission line tends to be the brightest line in star-forming galaxies, making it an ideal tracer of large-scale structure. Through the method of intensity mapping, astronomers hope to map CII emission at cosmological redshifts and large volumes, making CII and unprecedented probe of cosmology and reionization. However, the various models of the expected CII emission are highly uncertain by orders of magnitude, limiting our ability to predict how well potential CII surveys could probe large-scale structure. In this talk, I will present our measurement of excess emission from large scales at redshift z=2.5 potentially attributable to CII emission. This excess emission was measured by cross-correlating the 545 GHz broad-band microwave map from the Planck satellite and high-redshift quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. I will also discuss future opportunities with CII intensity mapping.
