RESEARCH

  1. Observational cosmology

  2. Formation and evolution of galaxies

  3. Formation of stars over cosmic time

  4. Photo-z and SED-fitting techniques


I study the formation and evolution of galaxies at epochs when the Universe was only a fraction of its present age. I am particularly interested in where and when the Universe made its stars and the complex chemical elements that we are all made of. In my work I use space-based facilities including the Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes, as well as ground-based ones such as the Keck, Gemini, and Magellan observatories in Hawaii and Chile.

NEWS

2013-03-29: Liz and I attend the CFHT Users’ Meeting in Campbell River, B.C. (photo shows the view from the conference venue!).  Liz gives a talk on our recently-submitted paper on the numbers of passive and star-forming galaxies at redshift z~2. Liz’s talk went very well and was well received.  Good job, Liz!
