My research in galaxy evolution is focused on the physical processes of star formation and supermassive black hole growth in both massive galaxies and dwarf galaxies. I work on:
- Molecular gas tracers, including their ability to differentiate between starbursts and black hole growth
- The dynamics of galaxy interactions
- The relationship between galaxy interactions/collisions and star formation and black hole growth
These studies involve observations—from telescopes such as ALMA, the VLT, NuSTAR, and JWST—as well as numerical galaxy formation simulations.
