Our group’s primary research interests are galaxy formation and evolution, star clusters and star cluster systems, chemical evolution and enrichment histories of galaxies, stellar populations, population synthesis models, stellar abundances, hierarchical structure formation, dark matter halo structures and the mass assembly histories of galaxies in dense environments of galaxy clusters, compact groups, and in the field.
