New telescope facilities and dedicated surveys have resulted in enormous progress in extra-galactic astronomy and cosmology over the past two decades. While we have now tightly constrained many of the fundamental cosmological parameters that describe our universe, there are still many unanswered questions concerning the formation and evolution of galaxies and larger structures. My research team is interested in studying the assembly of galaxies and the connection between observed galaxies and their environments. In order to address these topics we will study the evolution of galaxies in galaxy groups and clusters as a function of cosmic time.

在过去二十年中，新的望远镜设施和专门的调查使银河系外天文学和宇宙学取得了巨大进展。虽然我们现在已经严格限制了许多描述我们宇宙的基本宇宙学参数，但关于星系和更大结构的形成和演化仍然有许多未解之谜。我的研究团队对研究星系的组装以及观测星系与其环境之间的联系感兴趣。为了解决这些问题，我们将研究星系群和星系团中星系的演化作为宇宙时间的函数。
