I am currently an Assistant Professor in the at the University of
Kansas in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. I am interested in
studying the formation and evolution of galaxies using primarily
observational techniques. Specifically, I am trying to determine how
galaxies assembled their mass over cosmic time and how much the
evolution of galaxies is determined by the places in which they reside
as they evolve. I address these areas by using a variety of
telescopes on the ground and in space to observe galaxies at multiple
wavelengths and at multiple epochs. Doing so I can directly track
their evolution and the dependence of that evolution on, e.g. their
mass and the density of galaxies around them. Progress in these
fields will give us a better idea of how our own galaxy formed and how
galaxies in the local Universe today attained their present state.
