Research field and projects:
Sarah is broadly interested in galactic dynamics with a focus on stellar streams and dark matter. In her current project, funded by the Villum Foundation, Sarah will use stellar streams around other galaxies as astrophysical tools to decipher the nature of dark matter.
Sarah is a Villum Young Investigator (project VIL53081) and a Marie Curie Fellow (EXTRADARK, project 101103129)-
