Priyamvada Natarajan
Pioneering Astronomer
“I was always attracted by the cosmos— the deep, dark mysteries it held have always seduced me.”
Priyamvada Natarajan is a professor of Astronomy and Physics at the University of Yale. She is the author of the pioneering work 'Mapping the Heavens: The Radical Scientific Ideas That Reveal the Cosmos.' She was also the first woman in Astrophysics to be elected as a Fellow of Trinity College Cambridge.
Natarajan is widely regarded for her work on the cutting-edge of physics that includes mapping dark matter, dark energy, and particularly her work in gravitational lensing.
'She has pioneered the mapping and modeling of the universe’s invisible contents.' - Quanta Magazine
