Assistant Professor

Physics

Research Interests

I am a computational astrophysicist with broad interests in galaxy evolution and cosmology, from star formation and stellar feedback to the co-evolution of supermassive black holes and galaxies and the growth of large scale structure in the Universe. In my group, we develop large numerical simulations and analysis tools to understand the multi-scale physical processes that govern galaxy formation.
