Understanding the Circumgalactic Medium Through Hydrodynamic Simulations and Hubble's Cosmic Origins Spectrograph

My dissertation focuses on a relatively new field of study: the region immediately around galaxies known as the circumgalactic medium (CGM). The CGM holds vast quantities of mass and metals, yet its connection to galaxies is not well understood. My work uses cosmological hydrodynamic simulations an...
