ANNOUNCEMENT

Significant progress has been made over past few years in establishing a broad cosmological framework in which galaxies and large-scale structure develop hierarchically across, as a result of gravitational instability of material dominated by dark matter. However, many unanswered questions still remain. Most of this uncertainty comes from our poor understanding of the complex baryonic processes that must be included in any successful theory of galaxy formation such as stellar feedback from stars and their supernovae, AGN, cosmic ray, and dust. It is timely and important for us to organize a workshop by inviting active researchers to discuss the recent development of galaxy formation and its associated microphysics. Besides, we also encourage domestic students and postdocs to present their work in this workshop. Our goal is to provide a platform for researchers to exchange ideas and to promote collaborations.
