Hi! Welcome to my homepage
My name is Nir Mandelker
I am currently a senior lecturer (equivalent to assistant professor) in the Racah Institute of Physics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (HUJI). My main scientific collaborators are Profs. Peng Oh, Frank van den Bosch, Volker Springel, Daisuke Nagai, Pieter van Dokkum, and Avishai Dekel, who was my Ph.D. adviser.

My research focuses on galaxy formation at its peak phase, during the first few billion years of cosmic history (at redshift z~2). I am interested in how these early galaxies acquire fresh gas from the intergalactic medium, and how hydrodynamic and gravitational instabilities help turn this gas into stars.
