May Gade Pedersen

Dr. May Gade Pedersen is an academic staff member in the Department of Physics at the University of Sydney. Her research focuses on asteroseismology, stellar astrophysics, and the study of massive stars. She has contributed to understanding convective boundary mixing, internal gravity waves, and the application of asteroseismic techniques to study stellar interiors and exoplanet host stars. Her work spans collaborations with international teams using space missions like TESS, Kepler, and CoRoT to analyze stellar oscillations and spectroscopic data.

Her publications emphasize topics such as gravity-mode simulations, stellar oscillation variability, and the analysis of blue supergiants and β Cephei stars. Pedersen has also explored the potential of asteroseismology for determining stellar ages and masses, with implications for exoplanetary systems. Though no explicit awards or grants are listed in this profile, her extensive publication record reflects active involvement in observational and theoretical astrophysics research.
