Many people, my self very much included, wonder how the universe, and the galaxies, stars and planets it holds, came about, and how we fit into this larger picture. I propose to study the origin and evolution of galaxy clusters, galaxies, stars, and planets. I am also interested in what astronomical observations can tell us about dark matter, which is believed to hold galaxies and galaxy clusters together, and about dark energy, which is believed to be pushing galaxies away from each other, i.e., accelerating the expansion of spacetime.

许多人，包括我自己，都想知道宇宙，以及它所包含的星系，恒星和行星是如何形成的，以及我们如何融入这幅更大的图景。我打算研究星系团、星系、恒星和行星的起源和演化。我也对天文观测可以告诉我们关于暗物质的信息感兴趣，暗物质被认为是将星系和星系团保持在一起，暗能量被认为是将星系彼此推开，即，加速了时空的膨胀
