Radio Astronomy & Interstellar Medium

These studies range from small scales, such as the properties of individual molecular clouds, to galactic scales, e.g. to understand why some galaxies are forming stars more efficiently than others. 

How this process is linked to the properties of galaxies and the detailed physical conditions in the interstellar medium are key questions in our research. We work primarily with observations at radio wavelengths, but generally use a wide variety of multi-wavelength observations (infrared, UV, optical) to pursue these goals.
