Title: "Shedding Light on Galaxy Evolution with Resolved Stellar Populations"

Abstract:
Resolved stars serve as versatile, plentiful tracers of the baryonic content of their host galaxies.  By exploiting the precise, high-dimensional information provided by multi-band imaging of stars, we may place quantitative constraints on fundamental questions of galaxy formation and evolution.  I will describe how we can harness novel approaches together with precision ground- and space-based imaging of strategically targeted samples of resolved stars to address outstanding questions of galaxy evolution over a range of spatial and temporal scales.  I will also describe next steps and current limitations, and how they may be overcome by the next generation of state-of-the-art observational facilities.
