Sherry Suyu (Chinese: 苏游瑄) is an Associate Professor of astrophysics at the Technical University of Munich, a Max Planck Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics, and a Visiting Scholar at the Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics.
Research career[edit]
Suyu studied astrophysics at the Queen's University at Kingston in Canada from 1997 to 2001. In 2008, she received her Doctorate from the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California. Then she worked as a Postdoctoral researcher at the University of Bonn, University of California, Santa Barbara, and Stanford University. From 2013 to 2015, She taught and researched at the Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics (ASIAA) in Taiwan, where, as part of the research team, she discovered the galaxy cluster IRC 0218 that hosts the most distant strong gravitational lensing galaxy currently known.[4][5]
Suyu is leader of a research group at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics and an Associate Professor at the Technical University of Munich. Her research focuses are observational astronomy, Galaxy formation and evolution, and gravitational lensing. She is also leader of the H0LiCOW Collaboration program[6] that measures the expansion rate of the universe using gravitationally lensed quasars. For her leadership in the program, Suyu received the Lancelot M. Berkeley-New York Community Trust Prize for Meritorious Work in Astronomy from the American Astronomical Society (AAS) in 2021[1]. National Geographic, The New York Times and The Guardian featured her work as part of the global effort to find the Hubble constant.[7][8][9]
