DESCRIPTION:The LMC and SMC are the most massive satellite galaxies of the
  Milky Way. We now know that this star forming pair of galaxies is also th
 e closest example of a recent galactic collision. The wealth of observatio
 nal data from surveys like HST\, Gaia and SDSS presents a novel opportunit
 y to use the LMC and SMC as precision laboratories for galaxy dynamics and
  evolution. However\, past tidal and hydrodynamics interactions between th
 e LMC and SMC have left both galaxies in a high state of disequilibrium. T
 heoretical models of the LMC and SMC’s’ disequilibrium are critically 
 needed to properly interpret and analyze the observational data. In this t
 alk\, I will present new theoretical models for: (i) the strongly disturbe
 d internal structure\, kinematics and ISM properties of the LMC and SMC\; 
 and (ii) the time evolution of the dark matter distribution of the combine
 d LMC-SMC system. With upcoming\, state-of-the-art simulations of the LMC-
 SMC-Milky Way interaction history\, I will show how the LMC and SMC galaxi
 es are promising future testbeds for ISM and dark matter physics.
