Victoria Laura Antoci

Victoria Laura Antoci is a Senior Researcher at the Department of Space Research and Technology, Technical University of Denmark (DTU), specializing in stellar astrophysics with a focus on magnetic fields and pulsation phenomena. Her work bridges observational astronomy and theoretical modeling.

Her research centers on stellar pulsation mechanisms in intermediate-mass stars, particularly Ap stars and roAp stars. Key interests include:

• Magnetic field interactions with stellar oscillations
• Analysis of TESS and Gaia mission data for variable stars
• Exoplanet detection through stellar variability signatures
• Light curve modeling of 'hump and spike' features

Recent publications reveal strong emphasis on magnetic phenomena in A/F-type stars, with growing applications to exoplanet research. Her work increasingly integrates satellite mission data (TESS, Gaia) with ground-based observations to resolve stellar surface features.

As Principal Investigator and supervisor, she leads significant projects including the ERC Consolidator Grant MAGNIFY and the STEP-STONE satellite simulator initiative. Her supervisory role includes PhD candidates investigating magnetic field effects on stellar pulsations.
