The ultimate goal of our group is to understand the formation and evolution of galaxies. We work on various versions of galaxy formation theories, focusing on dynamical clustering of galaxies and galactic chemical evolution in combination with stellar population synthesis. We extensively, but not exclusively, use SDSS and GALEX data to test our theoretical models.
