Research Interests
Dr. Abdurro’uf’s research focuses on extragalactic astronomy, with a particular emphasis on understanding how galaxies build their structures over cosmic time and ultimately cease star formation (quenching). To address these questions, he utilizes multiwavelength astronomical data(imaging, spectroscopy, and integral field spectroscopy) spanning from the ultraviolet to the far-infrared. He has worked extensively with datafrom facilities such as JWST, Euclid, and HST to investigate the spatially resolved physical properties of galaxies across a wide range of redshifts, reaching back to the cosmic dawn. As part of this work, Dr. Abdurro’uf developed piXedfit (https://github.com/aabdurrouf/piXedfit), an innovative software package for spatially resolved spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting. This tool enables the derivation of detailed maps of stellar population properties within galaxies, providing new insights into their formation and evolution.
