We live in a hierarchically organized universe. Over the past two decades, observational evidence and theoretical predictions have converged on a remarkably successful cosmological model -- cold Dark Matter with a  Dark Energy component -- that describes the formation and evolution of structure at all scales through the gravitational amalgamation of matter. The backbone of this process is  well understood, but the physics on the scales of stars, galaxies and galaxy clusters is very complex and controlled by multiple variables.   This research program seeks to understand these processes and, in particular, the processes which formed galaxies like our own Milky Way.

我们生活在一个分层组织的宇宙中，在过去的二十年里，观测证据和理论预测已经融合在一个非常成功的宇宙学模型上——带有暗能量成分的冷暗物质——它描述了所有尺度结构的形成和演化。这一过程的核心是众所周知的，但恒星、星系和星系团尺度上的物理学非常复杂，并且受到多个变量的控制。过程，特别是形成像我们银河系这样的星系的过程。
