My research aims to understand how and when the first galaxies formed in the universe and to understand their properties and evolution. Much progress has been made in the last decade in understanding the growth of early galaxies out to higher and higher redshift. However, many open questions remain. My research primarily will make use of the PRIMER survery - 10 band near and mid infrared imaging - with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to detect and characterise the formation and evolution of the first galaxies. I am also using a combination of wide ground based imaging in the optical and near-infrared to explore the evolution of the bright end of the UV luminosity function.

我的研究旨在了解第一个星系是如何以及何时在宇宙中形成的，并了解它们的性质和演化。在过去的十年里，在理解早期星系向越来越高的红移方向发展方面取得了很大进展。然而，许多悬而未决的问题仍然存在。我的研究主要将利用PRIMER survery - 10波段近红外和中红外成像-与詹姆斯韦伯太空望远镜（JWST）探测和定位第一个星系的形成和演化。我还使用了光学和近红外宽地面成像的组合来探索紫外光度函数亮端的演变。
