Research interests

My main interest focuses on understanding how galaxies formed and evolved, and how the environment affects this process. I have attacked these questions using multi-wavelengt observations as well as simulations.

My main interests are listed below (probably not very up to date). And to see what my students/postcods are working on, you may visit the Valpo jellyfishers group site.
