Earlier this year, Amélie Saintonge was appointed as scientific member of the Max Planck Society and director at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Bonn, where she will lead the new research department Star Formation and Galaxy Evolution in the institute.
The focus of this research department will be to deliver the strong observational base, in particular at (sub)mm/radio wavelengths, that is required to study the connection of galaxies with their large-scale gaseous environments and the cosmic web, the physics and chemistry of the interstellar medium, and the drivers of star formation across all environments and scales, from the Milky Way, to nearby galaxies and the early Universe.
