Research
Why do galaxies look the way they do? is the fundemental question my research tries to answer. I am interested in understanding how the galaxy formation and evolution process is imprinted on their morphological structures. This ranges from understanding the physical phenomena that have left signatures in the galaxy's morphology to how the broader cosmological framework affects the structures of galaxies.
