Sherry Suyu

Prof. Sherry Suyu is an Associate Professor of Observational Cosmology at the Department of Physics, Technical University of Munich (TUM), School of Natural Sciences. She leads the H0LiCOW and HOLISMOKES programs, focusing on measuring the Hubble constant (H₀) through gravitational lensing and studying dark energy, galaxy evolution, and supernovae via lensed systems.

• Research Focus: Observational cosmology, gravitational lensing, dark energy, supernova progenitors, galaxy dark matter halos
• Key Projects: H0LiCOW (H₀ measurement), HOLISMOKES (supernova studies)

Her recent publications (2010–2020) analyze time-delay distances in lensed quasars to constrain cosmological parameters like H₀ (73.3 ± 1.7–1.8 km/s/Mpc in flat ΛCDM) and probe tensions between early- and late-Universe observations. She employs tools such as Hubble Space Telescope, Keck adaptive optics, and lenstronomy/GLEE lensing software.

She teaches courses including Gravitational Lensing, Experimental Physics, and Supernova Seminars, with mentoring in TUM's Bachelor’s Physics Program. Her work involves collaborations with institutions in Germany, the U.S., Switzerland, Japan, and other countries.
