Euclid STAR Prize for PhD student Sophie van Mierlo
PhD student Sophie van Mierlo from the Kapteyn Astronomical Institute is one of recipients of the Euclid STAR Prize 2022 in the student category.
This prize was announced yesterday (27 April) at the annual Euclid consortium meeting in Oslo.
The Euclid STAR Prize is given to members of the Euclid Consortium for their exceptional contribution to the collaboration over the past year. Sophie has received her prize for leading and completing the first Key Project of the Euclid Primordial Universe Science Working Group, in which she studies the ability to effectively select z>6 galaxies in the Euclid Deep Fields. Sophie's work provides one of the first quantitative analyses of the power of Euclid data, as well as need of ancillary data such as LSST's, for the study of galaxies towards the epoch of reionisation.
