Stellar streams from Pearson et al. 2024 Welcome
Sarah Pearson is an Associate Professor at the Technical University of Denmark DTU, where she runs the Dark Matter Group, funded by an ERC starting grant and a Villum Young Investigator grant. The group focuses on galactic dynamics and stellar streams to constrain dark matter. Pearson has extensive experience giving lectures to both scientific peers and to non-scientific audiences.
