I am a theoretical astrophysicist and work on the topics of Galaxy formation, Epoch of Reionization, 21cm cosmology and Dark Matter.
I have recently written an extremely comprehensive review on "Early galaxy formation and its large-scale effects". The final version is now online and can be freely downloaded using this link: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physrep.2018.10.002
