Galaxies grow as a result of the influx of gas from their environment. Their growth is regulated by young stars and black holes ejecting much of the gas back into the intergalactic space via enormous shockwaves. This research looks at these poorly understood processes, with the help both of observations and computer simulations. The research focuses on the formation of galaxies and the intergalactic medium (IGM), working on hydrodyamical simulations and observations of the circumgalactic medium.
