Galaxy Formation and Evolution

Dr Caroline Foster photoDr Caroline  Foster-Guanzon

I have spent hundreds of nights at remote astro nomical sites under pristine skies. I collect data from the largest optical telescopes in the world to study the motions and chemistry of stars in gal axies and unravel the history of their formation.

It was the harmony and beauty of physics and maths that I first fell in love with as a high sc hool student. Physicists measure fundamental constants, derive physical law s from first principles and make solid predictions. Mathematics is the lang uage and foundation of our understanding; it underpins the technological ad vances of our era.

As a highly idealistic individual, I set out to so lve the mysteries of the universe. I was enthralled by the possibility that the many unexplored secrets of deep space could hold the key to unlocking our understanding. After a BSc in physics and mathematics and an MSc in ast rophysics from Bishop’s University (Quebec, Canada), I completed my P hD at Swinburne University (Melbourne, Australia) in 2011. I am currently t he ASTRO3D fellow at the University of Sydney and the Australian representa tive on the European Southern Observatory Users Committee.
