Michael Brown is an observational astronomer whose research interests include the evolution of active galactic nuclei (AGNs), galaxy growth, and the cosmic timeline. His work often involves collaboration with PhD students, postdoctoral fellows, and colleagues from around the world. At Monash University, Brown utilizes large astronomical surveys such as the Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey and the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey (NDWFS) to conduct his research. His significant findings highlight that massive galaxies tend to grow relatively slowly and that the relationship between stellar mass and dark matter mass evolves over billions of years. Currently, his team is engaged in measuring how galaxies grow over cosmic time and how the star formation within these galaxies is influenced by their environment and the properties of their dark matter halos. He is also open to supervising PhD students in astrophysics and has various postdoctoral fellowship opportunities available. His key research areas over the last five years have included galaxies, AGNs, astronomical surveys, cosmology, and large-scale structure.
