Biography

Professor Strom uses the largest telescopes on the ground and in space to study how galaxies form and evolve. She is specifically interested in understanding the baryonic processes that determine galaxies’ varied formation histories, dark matter halos, cosmic web accretion, winds, and feedback from massive stars, as well as large-scale outflows. Strom is an expert in using deep rest-UV and rest-optical spectroscopy of star-forming galaxies at redshift to trace changes in physical conditions and chemical abundances.
