Ram pressure stripping

I am a computational astrophysicist primarily interested in understanding
the vast reservoir of plasma that surrounds a galaxy's disk -- the circumgalactic
medium (CGM). The CGM regulates the gas flow into and out of a galaxy's disk, and
understanding its evolution is a key to understanding the ever-evolving nature of galaxies –-
star formation, supernovae, and the interplay of the baryons and dark matter
that grow and transform over cosmic timescales.
Galaxy environments play a crucial role in shaping its fate. I'm presently working on understanding the role of ram pressure from the intracluster medium (ICM) on the evolution of a galaxy's circumgalctic and interstellar media.
