Professor van Zee is working on several projects related to understanding the links between star formation, elemental enrichment, and gas distribution and kinematics in star forming galaxies. Her work focuses on both the star formation history and evolution of dwarf galaxies (including stellar population models and regulatory mechanisms for star formation) as well as the elemental enrichment of spiral and irregular galaxies.
Area of expertise:
- Galaxy Formation and Evolution
Research Interests
- Galaxy evolution, chemical evolution, star formation, extragalactic neutral hydrogen.
