The Team
Dr. Nir Mandelker
Senior Lecturer, department of physics, Hebrew University Jerusalem.
My research addresses multiple aspects of the cosmic baryon cycle, galaxy evolution, and cosmology, combining analytical models, idealized simulations, and fully cosmological simulations.
This is just a brief summary of my work. Take a look at the research section or email me at nir.mandelker -at- mail.huji.ac.il to discuss possible collaborations.
Zhiyuan Yao (postdoc)
My research interests are centered around galaxy evolution driven by AGN winds, the formation and evolution of cold gas clouds interacting with hot winds, cold gas accretion onto massive galaxies
Sharon Lapiner (postdoc)
Research focus: Structure and dynamics of high-redshift galaxies and the cosmic web.
Han Aung (postdoc)
Research focus: Cosmology and Astrophysics with Dark Matter and Gaseous Halos
Zhaozhou Li (postdoc, joint with Avishai Dekel)
My research focuses on galactic dynamics and structure formation. I'm curious about how cosmic structures are shaped into their current state, the roles of baryonic feedback, mergers, and environmental effects, and what we can learn about the physical processes from observations, especially from a perspective of dynamics
Dhruba Dutta-Choudhouri (postdoc, joint with Avishai Dekel)
I work on a variety of topics broadly lying in the areas of dark matter physics, galaxy formation, and dynamics: Fuzzy Dark Matter, Dark Matter in Difficent Galaxies, Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect.
Idan Lavi, PhD (joint with TAU)
Research focus: The HI content of the cosmic web, and self-shielding of small-scale shattered intergalacitc gas clouds
Moshe Levy, MSc
Research focus: formation of multiphase gas thrgough shattering instabilities
Sagi Benavi (Undergraduate researcher)
Research focus: Lymal-alpha emission of the IGM
