Title: Scrutinizing the bedrock of contemporary cosmology

Abstract: The remarkable success of recent cosmology in pinpointing a consistent concordance model relies on few foundational assumptions of homogeneity, isotropy of the universe, scale independence, etc. Increasingly precise cosmological observations, such as the exquisite measurements of the CMB sky from ESA Planck space mission, have opened the possibility of robust independent tests of these assumptions. I will present key results from our two decades on research program on this theme.
