Galaxies are cosmic factories for producing starlight and complex chemical elements; they are also excellent probes of the Universe over a large time-span of cosmic history. Using privileged access to very large statistical datasets (Subaru HSC Survey and its CFHT counterpart), and Hubbles successor, the James Webb Space Telescope (including Guaranteed Time Observations), this research program will investigate how galaxies form and evolve over cosmic time from the first luminous objects to have formed soon after the big bang to the grand structures we see around us in the local Universe.

星系是产生星光和复杂化学元素的宇宙工厂;它们也是在宇宙历史的大时间跨度上探测宇宙的优秀探针。使用特权访问非常大的统计数据集（斯巴鲁HSC调查和CFHT对应），以及哈勃的继任者，詹姆斯韦伯太空望远镜（包括保证时间观测），这个研究计划将调查星系如何形成和演变，从宇宙大爆炸后不久形成的第一个发光物体到我们在本地宇宙中看到的宏伟结构。
