Anja von der Linden

Dr. Anja von der Linden is an Associate Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Stony Brook University. Her research specializes in galaxy clusters, weak gravitational lensing, and cosmology. She leads investigations of dark energy constraints through cluster mass calibrations and studies the evolution of brightest cluster galaxies.

She is actively involved in major collaborations including:

• Weighing the Giants project for precision cosmology
• LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration
• South Pole Telescope survey
• Euclid space mission
• WFIRST project

Her work combines gravitational lensing measurements with multi-wavelength data to understand cluster astrophysics and cosmological parameters. Current research examines the relationship between cluster mass estimates and dark energy constraints.
