Sherry Suyu

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sherry Suyu is an astrophysicist and professor at the Technical University of Munich .

Career

Suyu studied astrophysics at Queen's University in Canada from 1997 to 2001 and received his PhD from the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena in 2008 . She then did research as a postdoc at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn , the University of California, Santa Barbara and Stanford University . From 2013 to 2015 she taught and researched at the Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics of Academia Sinica (ASIAA) in Taiwan . There she was part of the research team that discovered the most distant gravitational lens in the galaxy cluster IRC 0218 (or XMM-LSS J02182-05102).

Since 2016 Suyu has been the head of a research group at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics and Assistant Professor for Observational Cosmology at the Technical University of Munich. Suyu's research focuses on observing cosmology, galaxy formation and evolution and gravitational lenses . Suyu heads the HOLiCOW collaboration, in which the current rate of expansion of the universe is determined using the gravitational lensing effects of quasars . She will receive the Lancelot M. Berkley-New York Community Trust Prize of the American Astronomical Society (AAS) in 2021 for her scientific management of the collaboration project . Your research work is also noticed by the general public and was z. Featured, for example, in National Geographic , The New York Times and The Guardian as part of the global search for the Hubble constant .
