Abstract：Characterizing galaxy properties across cosmic time holds the key to understanding galaxy formation and evolution. Galaxies grow through star formation and mergers, involving gas accretion, feedback, quenching and structural transformation processes. An empirical picture of galaxy growth emerges from the evolution of galaxy star formation and structure. In this talk I will present a brief overview of recent progresses and our results in this field, and discuss implications for understanding bursty star formation histories of star-forming galaxies, relative roles of in situ star formation versus mergers in driving galaxy mass assembly, and influences of bulge growth on galaxy star formation.
