Description
Since the discovery of the accelerated expansion of the Universe at the end of the past century, we have obtained an abundance of precision measurements of our Universe, opening the gates for the era of precision cosmology.
However, with these new measurements and surveys came tensions and hints of new physics beyond that of the Standard Model of cosmology and particle physics.
I will attempt to briefly describe the key observations which allow us to understand so much about our Universe and how some inconsistencies between these observations have led us into a discussion about the incompleteness of the $\Lambda$CDM model, with a particular focus on the nature of dynamical dark energy and some candidates to describe it both from a phenomenological and a more fundamental level.
