Inga Kamp

Professor Inga Kamp is a faculty member in the Astronomy — Kapteyn Astronomical Institute at the University of Groningen. Her research focuses on Star and Planet Formation and Astrochemistry, with emphasis on protoplanetary disks and molecular gas dynamics. She co-chairs the COST Action CM1401 'Our Astrochemical History' and serves on the board of the Graduate School of Science and Engineering.

Her work utilizes advanced observational data from telescopes like the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), analyzing mid-infrared spectra to uncover disk chemistry and dynamics. Key projects include the MINDS survey, exploring inner disk environments around young stars. Kamp's contributions bridge observational astronomy with theoretical models, advancing our understanding of planet formation processes.

Professional activities include roles in international collaborations, public outreach lectures, and mentoring early-career researchers. Her office is located at Landleven 12, Groningen, with research focused on molecular line spectroscopy, disk wind dynamics, and hydrocarbon chemistry in low-mass star systems.
