Overview

Shy Genel is affiliated with Columbia University in the United States and has a significant body of research in physics and astronomy, particularly focusing on galaxy formation, evolution, and astrophysical phenomena. Their scholarly output includes over two hundred publications primarily in the fields of astronomy and astrophysics.

The scientist's research encompasses various subfields including astronomy and astrophysics, instrumentation, artificial intelligence, nuclear and high energy physics, and computer vision and pattern recognition. Their work often intersects with topics involving galaxies' formation, evolution, and phenomena, as well as broader aspects of cosmology and gravitation theories. Other thematic areas include stellar, planetary, and galactic studies, computational physics with Python applications, and star formation studies.

Frequent publication venues for Genel's work are diverse but largely concentrated in well-regarded journals such as arXiv (Cornell University) with 41 publications, The Astrophysical Journal (34 publications), and the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (16 publications). Additional research appears in The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series and Astronomy and Astrophysics.

Recent papers authored or co-authored by Genel demonstrate a focus on black hole astrophysics and galactic evolution. Notable articles include:

  • The relationship between black hole mass and galaxy properties: examining the black hole feedback model in IllustrisTNG, 2020, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
  • Quenched fractions in the IllustrisTNG simulations: the roles of AGN feedback, environment, and pre-processing, 2020, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
  • Supermassive black holes in cosmological simulations I: MBH − M⋆ relation and black hole mass function, 2021, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
  • The diversity and variability of star formation histories in models of galaxy evolution, 2020, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
  • Supermassive black holes in cosmological simulations - II: the AGN population and predictions for upcoming X-ray missions, 2021, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society

General collaborates extensively, with frequent co-authors including Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, Daniel Anglés-Alcázar, Lars Hernquist, Mark Vogelsberger, and Rachel S. Somerville. These collaborations reflect a network deeply engaged in computational and theoretical astrophysics.
