Research summary
AI-generated

Liese van Zee studies small, low-mass galaxies (such as dwarf irregular galaxies) and how star formation shapes them. A major focus is 'stellar feedback'—the way energy from stars stirs up and drives gas out of a galaxy's interstellar medium—along with how these galaxies distribute their normal matter and dark matter. The work relies heavily on observational surveys of nearby galaxies.
