My research focuses on galaxy formation theory and its interface with cosmology. I work on a variety of questions related to dark matter, cosmological structure formation, and galaxy formation physics across cosmic time. I combine numerical simulations, analytic models, and observations in my work. For more information, see my research page, publications, or CV (pdf).

Some of the major questions motivating my research are covered in this recent review article:
