Anke Ardern-Arentsen

I am an observational astronomer interested in the history of the Milky Way and the first stars. I work on uncovering the unique story that the oldest stars can tell us about the past of our Galaxy. I am currently a Herchel Smith fellow at the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge (UK), and a research fellow at Fitzwilliam College in Cambridge. 

More about my science interests can be found here, and a short summary of my cv and publications here
