　　报告人：莫厚俊 教授（University of Massachusetts/清华大学）

　　Houjun Mo is professor of astronomy at University of Massachusetts. His research has been focused on galaxy formation, large-scale structure of the universe, and cosmology. He has coauthored a textbook on `Galaxy formation and evolution' which was published by Cambridge University Press. Houjun obtained his Ph.D degree in Astrophysics at Munich University. He was a tenured scientific staff at the Max-Planck Institute for Astrophysics before he joined his current position at UMass in 2003. More personal info on http://people.umass.edu/~hjmo/

　　摘要：I will describe a method that can be used to reconstruct the initial conditions of the local universe accurately. The method is applied to the SDSS volume. High-resolution simulations of the reconstructed initial conditions have been carried to recover of the formation histories and structures observed in the local universe. I will also describe how the results can be used to study the formation and structure of the local cosmic web and of galaxies that are embedded in it.
