i work on topics in theoretical cosmology and astrophysics. i am primarily interested in galaxy formation and the development of structure in the universe.
current research interests include:
- assembly history and structure of galaxies and dark matter halos
- evolution of galaxy properties as a function of environment
- evolution of halo occupation and galaxy clustering
- cosmological constraints from cluster abundance and clustering
- constraining the mass distribution and galaxy content of clusters
- galaxy formation at high redshift
- long-term dynamics of the universe
- extracting cosmology and galaxy formation from large galaxy surveys
- the nature of dark matter and dark energy
- Sloan Digital Sky Survey, Dark Energy Survey, AEGIS, LSST
interested?
if you are a stanford student or prospective stanford student interested in working with me, drop me a line or stop by my office on campus or at slac. kipac also hires at least a couple of postdocs each year, and encourages propective candidates to apply for national fellowships. if you are interested feel free to contact me with any questions.
