Nominator's project description

Dr. Péroux is internationally known for studying distant galaxies through the absorption they produce in the light of yet more distant quasars. As this absorption is sensitive to the amount and chemical composition of interstellar gas in the foreground object, her studies allow Dr. Péroux to deduce how galaxies have changed between the time at which she observes them and the present day. In Germany she will cooperate with scientists who model the evolution of the galaxy population.
