Abstract

As stars evolve in different kinds of environment, they may experience complicated dynamical processes due to the changing background potential. On the other hand, chemistry is more predictable, and thus crucial in tracing the evolution of stellar systems. In this talk, I will present our efforts in investigating Milky Way and globular cluster evolution using chemically peculiar stars.
