Julianne Dalcanton
Associate Professor of Astronomy
Research Interests Galaxies, galaxies, galaxies. How do they form? How do they evolve? What physical processes control their structures and star formation histories? Because galaxies are complex systems, resolving these questions involves addressing both broad cosmological issues and detailed understanding of stellar populations and the interstellar processes.
