Observational Studies of Galaxies

I am interested in evolution of galaxies (huge systems of stars, etc.) especially in terms of star formation. Technical key words of my studies are as follows:

Star formation in dwarf irregular galaxies
Star formation in spiral galaxies
Star formation histories in galaxies
Characteristics of star-forming galaxies, blue galaxies in local and at distant Universe
Environmental effect on star formation in galaxies
