UW Astronomy Assistant Professor Emily Levesque has been named the 2020 recipient of the American Astronomical Society’s Newton Lacy Pierce Prize for her breakthrough studies of the evolution of massive stars. The Pierce Prize is awarded annually to early career astronomers for outstanding observational research. Read more about Professor Levesque’s research in the AAS press release.
Listen to Emily Levesque's TED Talk on the Last Stargazers @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGfBzkCay5M&feature=Emily Levesque’s research interests are focused on massive stellar astrophysics and the use of massive stars as cosmological tools. Her current research program includes panchromatic observations and models of star-forming galaxies and their young stellar populations; host galaxy and progenitor studies of massive star transients such as LBVs, supernovae, and long-duration gamma-ray bursts; surveys of evolved massive stars in and beyond the Local Group; and the properties of Thorne-Zytkow objects.
