The most massive nearby galaxies built up the bulk of their stars and their central supermassive black holes at a time when the Universe was a quarter to a half its current age. The coeval timing of these processes and the apparently fixed relationship between the masses of black holes and their host galaxies point towards a connection between these two phenomena. My proposed research program addresses an intriguing intersection of black hole growth and galaxy evolution by focusing on the physical processes and the galaxy group environment that link them as outlined in the three projects listed below.

在宇宙年龄在当前年龄的四分之一到一半的时候，附近最庞大的星系建立了大部分星星和中央超级质量的黑洞。 这些过程的同时定时以及黑洞质量及其宿主星系之间的明显固定关系指向这两种现象之间的联系。 我提出的研究计划通过着重于物理过程和星系组环境，解决了黑洞生长和星系演变的有趣交集，这些过程将它们链接到下面列出的三个项目中所述。
