Biography

Dusan Keres is a Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of California, San Diego. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst in 2007. His research encompasses a broad area of formation and evolution of galaxies, halos, and the inter-galactic medium. He utilizes gravity and hydrodynamics simulations for structure formation in the universe to understand the cycling of baryons in galaxies and their surroundings. His work includes topics such as galactic infall, outflows, interactions, and the long-term regulation of galaxy evolution, along with related observable consequences of these processes. Keres is particularly interested in advances in numerical hydrodynamic techniques and the physical models that are used in galaxy formation.
