Description
Because of their extragalactic origin, FRBs can serve as very unique probes to explore our Universe. With nearly 150 localised FRBs with redshifts up to z=1.35, by use of the Macquart relation alone it is possible to study different cosmological aspects and even address some open issues in cosmology such as the missing baryon problem or the Hubble tension.
In my talk I will give a general overview on how to use FRBs to study the Universe. I will review some recent results in the literature, and I will discuss their possible future applications both in the short and in the long term.
