Explore advanced cosmological measurement techniques in this 15-minute conference talk that examines methods for measuring cosmic bulk flow through kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) velocity reconstruction. Learn about cutting-edge approaches to detect and quantify large-scale cosmic motion by analyzing the kSZ effect, which provides crucial insights into the universe's bulk velocity field. Discover how this technique contributes to our understanding of cosmic structure formation and the dynamics of matter distribution on the largest scales. Gain insights into the theoretical framework behind kSZ velocity reconstruction and its applications in modern cosmological surveys. Understand the significance of bulk flow measurements in testing cosmological models and constraining fundamental parameters of the universe. This presentation was delivered as part of the New Synergies in Multi-Probe Cosmology conference, focusing on innovative methods that combine multiple observational probes to advance astrophysical and cosmological understanding.
