Research
We discover and characterize the population of stellar streams around the Milky Way using large surveys like the Dark Energy Suvey, Gaia, and the Rubin Observatory LSST.
Milky Way Stellar Streams
Disrupting Satellites Across Simulations
Using populations of disrupting satellites in cosmological simulations, we test our understanding of small-scale galaxy formation, examine the Milky Way’s place in our Universe, and challenge the standard cosmological model.
Galactic Dynamics
We create dynamical models of the Milky Way in order to understand the local distribution of dark matter and to characterize disequilibrium in our Galaxy.
