Biography

Bryan Terrazas is interested in how galaxies form and evolve from the very early universe to the present day. Their work specifically focuses on how the energy released from accretion onto supermassive black holes can affect the star formation in galaxies. They mainly work with computational models and simulations to test whether our physical theories of galaxy evolution are supported by what we observe in the real Universe.
