Speaker

Prof. Tao Wang (Nanjing University)

Description

In this talk, I will present some of the latest observational results for understanding the life cycle of galactic ecosystems, including both nearby and high-redshift galaxies. I will first present new results on galaxy demographics in the early universe made possible by recent JWST studies, and then discuss more generally what we have learned in recent years about the fundamental physics governing the growth and quenching of galaxies over cosmic time, with a focus on the central role of supermassive black holes in shaping the formation and evolution of massive galaxies.
