Title: The evolution of dwarf galaxies in clusters

Abstract: Galaxy clusters are the largest gravitationally bound structures in the Universe, with a big spread in their formation state and dynamical properties. In these high-density environments, galaxies evolve under various physical processes that impact their evolution, for example, their distribution, morphology and stellar content, etc. A type of galaxy highly susceptible to environmental effects are dwarf galaxies, in my research we focus on these less massive galaxies in the more massive structures, where the environmental effect is stronger. On the other hand, substructure disruption in galaxy clusters likely plays an important role in shaping their population, given that a significant fraction of today’s galaxy clusters have spent time in a previous host system. We have investigated these concepts by addressing when and why  the disruption of groups happens. In this talk, I will summarize my past and current projects to study different aspects of galaxy evolution.
