Susanne E. Aalto (born 28 November 1964) is a Swedish professor of radio astronomy geodesy at the Onsala Space Observatory in the department of Space, Earth and Environment at Chalmers University of Technology.[1] She has been a professor of radio astronomy since 2013.[2] Between 1994 and 1999, she was a postdoc at the Steward Observatory, University of Arizona and at Caltech in the United States of America. In 1999, she was awarded the Albert Wallin Prize by the Royal Society for Science and Knowledge in Gothenburg.[3] She researches galaxy evolution and motion using radio telescopes and radiation from molecules.[4][5]
Early life and education[]
She was born on 28 November 1964 in Eskilstuna, Sweden.[6] In 1994, she became Sweden's first female doctor of radio astronomy[7] with a dissertation on radiation from molecules as a way to study galaxies that form many stars simultaneously (starburst galaxies).[8]

Med hjälp av radioteleskop studerar hon kolliderande galaxer och de gaser som ger upphov till våldsamt utbrott av stjärnbildning, så kallade starbursts. Men det finns en mer jordnära fråga som berör henne nästan lika mycket som kolossala molekylmoln i rymden och det är rädslan för matte och fysik bland tjejer. Metoden att få fler av dem intresserade är hon klar över. - Det behövs ett korståg för att få fler kvinnor till naturvetenskapen". www.alba.nu.
