I am a theoretical astrophysicist interested in the formation and evolution of galaxies. To study these processes I use numerical models. I am particularly fond of simulating galaxy mergers, some of the most dramatic and exciting events our Universe has ever hosted. In the hierarchical universe galaxy interactions are considered to be of vital importance in determining the wide variety of galactic structure that we observe today.
