Mohammadreza (Reza) Ayromlou

My name is Reza (Mohammadreza) Ayromlou, and I am the Argelander Fellow at the University of Bonn. Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Center for Astronomy of Heidelberg University, and 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 research focuses on the formation and evolution of galaxies and large-scale structure of the Universe.

I describe my work as the intersection of theory, computation, and observation. In practice, I develop theoretical models, implement them in cosmological simulations or semi-analytical models, and then assess them using observational data. The goal is to gain a deeper understanding of the fundamental processes that govern the Universe.

I see observations as a guide for future theoretical developments. My research explores the connections between galaxy formation and evolution (e.g., environmental effects, feedback processes) and large-scale structure cosmology. I aim to understand how different physical processes interact and shape galaxies and cosmological structures across diverse environments.

I currently live in Bonn with my wife. I speak Persian, English, and German.
