My research is in the area of galaxy formation. I have primarily focused on modeling galaxy mergers and understanding the role that they play in the formation of elliptical galaxies.

Current Projects:

• Constructing a model to predict the properties of merger remnants
• AGN fueling during galaxy mergers
• Evolution of the fundamental plane of elliptical galaxies
• Comparison of merger simulations with observed Tully-Fischer and S-Tully-Fischer relations in the DEEP2 survey
