Almudena Alonso-Herrero (born 1968)[ citation needed] is a Spanish astronomer whose research includes the use of infrared astronomy to study star formation and dust emission in Seyfert galaxies and other galaxies with active nuclei. She is a researcher for the Spanish National Research Council, affiliated with the astrophysics department in the Spanish Astrobiology Center of the Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial. [1] [2]
Education and career
Alonso-Herrero studied physics and cosmology at the Complutense University of Madrid, earning a licenciate in 1991 and completing her Ph.D. in 1995. She was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oxford, University of Arizona, and University of Hertfordshire, and took her present position with the Spanish National Research Council in 2016. [2]
She was part of the instrument teams of NICMOS for the Hubble Space Telescope and MIPS for the Spitzer Space Telescope. She is a Spanish co-investigator of the James Webb MIRI European Consortium. She has served on several international committees, including the ESO Science and Technology Committee and the ESA Astronomy Working Group.[ citation needed]
Recognition
Alonso-Herrero is a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, and was elected as a corresponding member of the Spanish Royal Academy of Sciences in 2022. [2]
