Observational and Numerical Elements of Galaxy Evolution

Masters Seminar: Observational and Numerical Elements of Galaxy Evolution.  Topics include large scale structure, dark matter haloes, and the stellar, gaseous and chemical evolution of galaxies over cosmic time. We aim to cover all topics from both an observational and theoretical perspective. Students will prepare and present a 45 minute talk on an assigned topic and prepare a 10 page report. Through group feedback, a key goal of this course is to provide participants the opportunity to practice and improve on their presentation skills in a constructive learning environment. In the advent of restrictions on in-person meetings, we aim to organize the course online over video (Zoom).
