Adam K. Leroy studies how galaxies contain and use gas to form new stars, focusing on molecular and ionized gas in nearby galaxies observed with telescopes like JWST, VLT/MUSE, and ALMA. His work involves large collaborative surveys (such as PHANGS and EDGE-CALIFA) that map gas clouds, star clusters, and outflows in galaxies to understand the physical processes that regulate star formation across cosmic environments.
