The group is working on different projects, ranging from the analytical modeling of the growth of halo structure to the formation of the first stars and its implications on galaxy evolution. Here we present a brief description of our ongoing and recent work classified into two broad areas:

Gravitational clustering

Hierarchical clustering
Structure of dark matter halos
Global properties and structure of the hot gas within dark halos


Galaxy formation and evolution

Analytical modeling of galaxy formation
The formation of first stars and reionization
Luminosity function of Active Galactic Nuclei
Morphological evolution of galaxies

List of publications
