The picture above (left), showing two interacting galaxies, was
taken with the Hubble Space Telescope by a group of astronomers
including myself. Read about the
facts. The photo in the middle is taken by Göran Olofsson. The photo above (right) show me and my horse.
Welcome!
I am a docent in theoretical physics and employed as a university lecturer at the Institute of Physics
at Göteborg University. The main
parts of my job consists of teaching astronomy and physics, doing
research on galaxies and (soon) exoplanets. I am also starting a research group in Equine Science. Apart from
this, I also do a lot of public outreach I´m very interested in the interdisciplinary aspects of
astronomy.
If you want to get in touch with me, here are some suggestions:
- my office is room O5111 on the 5th floor in the Origo-buildning
(Physics), at Chalmers University of Technology.
- email: maria.sundin@physics.gu.se
- phone in Sweden: 031-786 9172
- phone from abroad: +46 31 786 9172
You can find a lot of information about my popular courses
in astronomy,
as well as links to astronomy sites here (in Swedish):
Courses in Astronomy.
My research (to be updated)
is on computer simulations of galaxies and exoplanets. Here is a short description of our new research on Equine Science.
My published papers can be found
here and at Göteborg University database GUP
This is a list of my talks and
appearances in the media in 2011 and here is the list for 2012 so far (in Swedish).
Interdisciplinary projects
In November 2011 I gave a talk with the title "Water - a necessity for life on Earth and other planets" for TEDx University of Gothenburg. You can find my talk here .
On Facebook I have a group called Maria Sundins orienteringskurser i astronomi where I write about news on the sky, my courses, my media appearances and other suitable astro-connected stuff. Please, join the group if you want to!
