Tommaso Treu
1.
Galaxy Formation and Evolution. Examples of my research can be found here.
2. Co-evolution of spheroids and black-holes.
3. Gravitational Lensing and dark matter in galaxies and clusters of galaxies.
4. Cosmography from gravitational time delays, more details can be found here, and here.
5. Galaxies at the epoch of reionization, more details can be found here.
For a more accessible description of my research, take a look at the following press releases (and you if you have nothing better to do you can listen to this interview with Austrlian Radio or this public lecture of mine or this interview by Mike Shara):
