معرفی
Sofia Feltzing is a Professor at Lund University's Department of Geology, affiliated with the Faculty of Science and the eSSENCE: The e-Science Collaboration. Her research focuses on understanding the formation and evolution of the Milky Way through detailed analysis of stellar ages, elemental abundances, and kinematics. She is a key member of major spectroscopic surveys like the Gaia-ESO Survey, WEAVE, and 4MOST, which aim to map the Galaxy's structure and history. Her work contributes to 'Near Field Cosmology,' linking stellar data to broader galactic evolution.
Research interests include galactic archaeology, elemental abundance patterns in stars, and large-scale surveys. She has led and contributed to projects such as NMW (The New Milky Way) and 4MOST, supported by grants like the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation. Her collaborations span global institutions, evidenced by extensive international co-authorship and network visualizations.
Feltzing has been awarded prestigious honors, including election to the Royal Swedish Academy of Science (2015) and the Royal Physiographic Society in Lund (2014). She has supervised postdoctoral researchers in areas like Milky Way formation, stellar ages, and binary star systems. Her infrastructure involvement includes the Swedish ELT Instrumentation Consortium (SELTIC), advancing ELT instrumentation.
Her over 180 research outputs explore topics such as the Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus merger, metallicities in galactic bulges, and radial migration processes. Recent work emphasizes the Milky Way's central metal-rich knot and churning dynamics using APOGEE data. Feltzing's contributions bridge observational astronomy with computational methods to unravel the Galaxy's past and present.
