Claude-André Faucher-Giguère is a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Northwestern University. He earned his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 2010. His research interests lie in theoretical astrophysics and cosmology, focusing on galaxy formation and evolution. Faucher-Giguère is dedicated to understanding the multi-scale physical processes that govern the formation of galaxies in a cosmological context. His work emphasizes star formation, galaxy-black hole co-evolution, and galactic dynamics while establishing connections with the intergalactic medium. His approach combines large-scale numerical simulations, analytic modeling, and comparisons with observational data. He also holds a courtesy appointment at Argonne National Laboratory and collaborates with the Cosmological Physics Advanced Computing group.
