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.

在过去的二十年里，新的望远镜设备和专门的调查导致了银河系外天文学和宇宙学的巨大进步。虽然我们现在已经严格限制了描述我们宇宙的许多基本宇宙学参数，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。我的研究小组对研究星系的集合以及观测到的星系和它们的环境之间的联系很感兴趣。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。
