Welcome to my webpage!

My name is Reza (Mohammadreza) Ayromlou (Persian: محمدرضا آیرملو), and I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Center for Astronomy of Heidelberg University. Before this, I completed a short bridging postdoc at the Max-Planck Institute for Astrophysics (MPA), following the completion of my PhD. I received my PhD in March 2021 from the MPA and Ludwig Maximilians Universität München, where I worked with Guinevere Kauffmann and Simon White. Currently, my work focuses on the formation and evolution of galaxies and large-scale structure of the Universe.

Research Interests

 
 
 

Galaxy Formation

I'm interested in the physical processes that lead to the formation and evolution of galaxies. Currently, my research is focused on black hole and stellar feedback processes and environmental effects.

 
 
 

Large Scale Structure

I'm interested in the interplay between galaxy evolution and the large-scale structure of the Universe (e.g. correlation function, galactic conformity, missing baryon problem).

 
 
 

Observation-Theory Links

I'm striving to connect theoretical and computational astrophysics with observations, particularly to understand the physics of galaxy formation and the large-scale structure of the Universe.

 

 
 
 

Stochastic Processes

There are a variety of cosmological concepts associated with stochasticity. Currently, I'm focusing on stochasticity in large-scale structure, starting with the initial density field.
