Dr. Guochao (Jason) Sun studies the formation and evolution of galaxies and their connection to the large-scale structure of the universe. He develops both simulations and analytical models to investigate how to extract exciting information about astrophysics and cosmology from observations of galaxies and cosmological surveys.
