Currently, I am using the simulations from the First Billion years (FiBY) Project to look into the formation and evolution of Globular Clusters. I am using local universe observations of Globular Clusters to refine a set of criteria which can be used to identify them and proto-globulars in the simulations. Once candidates have been identified I then study their global and average properties in order to compare with current theories about their formation and evolution as well as finding properties that could be observed at high redshift. The future aim will be to look into the formation of Intermediate Mass Black Holes and to determine whether Globular Clusters could potentially host them.

目前，我正在使用第一个十亿年（FiBY）项目的模拟来研究球状星团的形成和演化。我正在使用球状星团的局部宇宙观测来完善一组标准，这些标准可用于在模拟中识别球状星团和原球状星团。一旦确定了候选者，我就会研究它们的整体和平均特性，以便与当前关于它们的形成和演化的理论进行比较，并找到可以在高红移下观察到的特性。未来的目标将是研究中质量黑洞的形成，并确定球状星团是否有可能容纳它们。
