Biography

Amelie Saintonge's research program is centered on understanding the mechanisms that regulate the growth and evolution of galaxies. In particular, she employs radio telescopes to conduct a census of cold gas contents within a large sample of galaxies. This research is pivotal for understanding how galaxies efficiently form stars and how gas plays a crucial role in identifying the mechanisms driving their evolution. Additionally, she investigates the connection between the properties of galaxies and the large-scale structure of the universe, focusing on components of the baryon cycle, specifically gas flows into galaxies.
