Research Interests
My research focuses on the formation of galaxies and the
intergalactic medium (IGM). Recently, my group has been working mostly
on the OWLS (OverWhelmingly Large Simulations) project. We are
preparing a very large set of cosmological, hydrodynamical simulations
to study the history of galaxies and the IGM.
I have published on the following subjects:
- The chemical
enrichment of the IGM
- Simulations of the formation of galaxies
- Numerical radiative transfer
- The thermal history of the IGM
- Ly-alpha emission from the diffuse IGM
- Star formation in galaxies
- Reionization
- The Ly-alpha forest
- Damped Ly-alpha absorption systems
- Gravitational lensing
- Testing alternatives to dark matter
