Garth Illingworth
Garth Illingworth is a Professor of Astronomy and Astrophysics and Astronomer at UCO/Lick
Observatory. His research interests are directed toward understanding when
and how galaxies formed. To this end he has been studying the structure,
kinematics, and stellar populations of nearby elliptical and SO galaxies. With
the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and the availability of the Keck
10-meter Telescope, He has been tackling the problem in a complementary and more
direct way, that is, by studying the galaxies at high redshift, when they are
much younger.

Rychard Bouwens
Rychard Bouwens is a astronomy researcher working at UCO/Lick Observatory and the Department
of Astronomy at UC Santa Cruz. He is an expert of studies of high-redshift (z~2-8) galaxies using HST data and
has broad interests in all areas of galaxy formation and evolution and extragalactic astronomy. He is first author
on a number of studies in recent years on the evolution of the rest-frame UV luminosity function at high redshift. He
is also the author of a well-known simulation package for generating images of deep galaxy fields, called BUCS.
