Dr. Frank Van Den Bosch

Biography

Frank van den Bosch is a Professor of Astronomy at Yale University, where he focuses on various aspects of cosmology, large-scale structure, galaxy formation, and dynamics. His research investigates the Galaxy-Dark Matter Connection through Halo Occupation Statistics, the structure and assembly of dark matter haloes, and the formation and evolution of disk galaxies. He aims to constrain cosmological parameters using galaxy mass tracers and study galaxy quenching with galaxy groups. Additionally, he employs N-body simulations and analytical methods to examine dark matter substructure, dynamical friction, and the implications of fuzzy dark matter. Over his career, he has authored around 200 papers in refereed journals and is the author of the textbook 'Galaxy Formation and Evolution', published by Cambridge University Press.
