Sherry H. Suyu

Hello! I am a Max Planck Research Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics, an Assistant Professor at the Technical University of Munich, and a Visiting Scholar at the Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics. I use the spectacular phenomenon of gravitational lensing to probe the dark cosmos: dark energy, dark matter and supermassive black holes. I also work on the extremely bright side of the Universe in observing splendid cosmic fireworks from supernovae.

I am leading the H0LiCOW project that aims to measure the expansion rate of our Universe using gravitationally lensed quasars (weblink here).

Below you can find out more about my research and teaching, and the young active researchers whom I am working with.
