Casey Papovich's research areas include observational cosmology and the formation and evolution of distant galaxies and the growth of large-scale structures in galaxies. His recent work focuses on observations of the properties of galaxies, constraints on cosmological reionization, and quantifying the growth and assembly of stellar mass in galaxies in the early universe, as well as the formation of galaxy clusters and their properties. He utilizes data from NASA's space-based Great Observatories, including Hubble, Spitzer, and Chandra, as well as the NASA/ESA Herschel Space Observatory, and the largest terrestrial telescopes such as the Gemini Observatory, Magellan Telescopes, Keck Observatory, and ALMA Observatory. He is the project scientist for GMACS, the primary wide-field spectrograph built for the Giant Magellan Telescope, and is involved in multiple international collaborations including ZFOURGE, CANDELS, HETDEX, DES, and LSST projects.
