Vandana Ramakrishnan studies distant galaxies and the large-scale structure of the universe using observations of Lyman-alpha emitting galaxies, Lyman-alpha blobs (extended gas clouds glowing due to star formation or other energetic processes), and galaxy protoclusters (dense regions where clusters of galaxies are forming) at 'cosmic noon,' a period roughly 10 billion years ago when star formation in the universe peaked. Much of this work is tied to the ODIN survey, which maps these objects to trace how galaxies cluster and evolve within the cosmic web.

Publication output has grown markedly over the last decade, rising from essentially none before 2020 to a steady annual increase since 2022, with the highest counts in the most recent years.
