Galaxy formation

For a full list of my publications check out this ADS link or visit my ORCID page.

I’m currently working on, and have worked on, a number of different projects. You can check them out below.

I am currently working on quantifying the detailed morphological evolution of FIRE galaxies over time.

I showed that galactic disk settling accompanies the end of bursty star formation in the FIRE simulations. ADS link

I showed that vertical pressure balance is achieved and that it explains the origin of the KS relation in the FIRE simulations. ADS link

My REU student showed that the time scales of observational SFR indicators vary depending on the shape of the SFH. ADS link

As part of the Blue Waters graduate fellowship I developed a framework for accelerating networks of coupled stiff ODEs using GPUs.

I showed that AGN feedback could have a measurable effect on the statistics of the low redshift Lyman-Alpha Forest. ADS link

In my first-ever paper I showed that correlated noise is statistically similar to uncorrelated noise at a larger amplitude. ADS link
