Ethan O. Nadler is an assistant professor at the University of California, San Diego, specializing in galaxy formation, dark matter, and near-field cosmology. His research primarily targets the formation and evolution of the faintest galaxies, investigating the microphysical nature of dark matter and small-scale cosmic structures. He employs cosmological simulations and semi-analytic models to explore the galaxy–halo connection, dark matter theory, and the observations of dwarf galaxies through strong gravitational lenses. Beyond his research, Nadler is committed to building an inclusive scientific community through mentoring, outreach, and teaching initiatives. He plays an active role in several collaborative projects, including the Dark Energy Science Collaboration and the Dark Energy Survey, contributing to crucial astronomical studies. He also seeks to engage undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral researchers in his work, promoting interdisciplinary science through various educational programs.
