Dr Michael Brown - Researcher Profile

Biography

Michael works in the School of Pyhsics as a Senior Lecturer and ARC Future Fellow

Michael's research interests are:

I am an observational astronomer whose research interests include the evolution of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and the growth of galaxies over cosmic time. I am an investigator in several large projects to survey the distant Universe, including the Galaxy & Mass Assembly survey (GAMA), the NOAO Deep Wide-field Survey (NDWFS), the Spitzer Deep Wide-Field Survey (SDWFS), the AGN & Galaxy Evolution Survey (AGES) and planned surveys with the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder.

My most significant research has been a series of studies on how the most massive galaxies have grown over the past seven billion years (links to these are provided below). I have measured how rapidly galaxies grow over cosmic time by measuring the evolving number of galaxies per unit volume. I have also determined how galaxies reside within gravitationally bound structures of dark matter (dark matter halos) by measuring how galaxies cluster together. A key result of these studies is that the most massive galaxies grow relatively slowly and that the relationship between stellar mass and dark matter mass evolves very little over billions of years.

In collaboration with PhD students and postdoctoral fellows, I will be extending my previous work to encompass much of the history of the Universe and I will be investigating how radio sources populate dark matter halos. This will provide new insights into how galaxies grow over cosmic time, including the relationship between stellar mass and dark matter mass, insights into what regulates the formation of stars in galaxies, and the impact of active galactic nuclei upon the galaxies in which they reside. If you are interested in PhD studies in astrophysics at Monash University or postdoctoral fellowship opportunities, do not hesitate to contact me.
