معرفی
Laila Linke is a Research Fellow at the Institute for Astro- and Particle Physics at the University of Innsbruck, where she works within the Extragalactic Astrophysics research group. Her office is located in Room 8/03, and she actively contributes to major international cosmology projects including the Euclid space mission and the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS).
Dr. Linke's research primarily focuses on observational cosmology, specializing in weak gravitational lensing, cosmic shear analyses, and galaxy clustering to investigate dark matter and dark energy. Her methodological contributions include developing approaches for higher-order shear statistics (second, third, and fourth-order), studying source-lens clustering effects, and analyzing intrinsic alignments of galaxies. She has made significant contributions to the Euclid mission's data analysis pipeline and calibration techniques.
Her publication record shows a strong trajectory with numerous first-author papers in top astronomy journals like Astronomy & Astrophysics and Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. Her work demonstrates increasing leadership in the field, with a focus on addressing systematic errors in cosmic shear measurements and developing novel statistical approaches for cosmological parameter estimation. Recent publications emphasize machine learning applications and cross-correlation techniques between different cosmological probes.
Dr. Linke is actively engaged in the scientific community, having presented her research at major international conferences including the ESLAB Euclid Symposium, Rencontres de Moriond, and multiple Euclid Consortium meetings. She has served as Session Chair for specialized topics like 'Machine Learning in Euclid' and 'Source-Lens Clustering,' reflecting her recognized expertise. Additionally, she participates in public outreach through events like Pint of Science and school programs, explaining complex cosmological concepts related to the Euclid mission to general audiences.
Her collaborative network spans numerous institutions through the Euclid Consortium and KiDS collaboration, working with researchers across Europe. Recent media appearances, including an interview about Euclid's discovery of new galaxies, demonstrate her role in communicating scientific results to the broader public. Her research directly contributes to advancing our understanding of the dark universe through precise measurements of the universe's large-scale structure.
