DESCRIPTION:Just after the Big Bang\, the Universe was primarily a hot bal
 l of hydrogen and helium\, with only a trace amount of heavy elements. Yet
 \, 14 billion years later\, a diversity of astrophysical objects such as s
 tars\, galaxies\, and black holes light up our night sky. Understanding ho
 w the first generations of these objects formed and their subsequent impac
 t on the future evolution of the Universe remains one of the most exciting
  frontiers in modern astrophysics. I will discuss how state-of-the-art com
 puter simulations are leading the way in our understanding of cosmic dawn 
 and the evolution of the Universe in the first billion years\, known as th
 e epoch of reionization.
