Short biography
Anaëlle Maury is an astrophysicist (PhD Université Paris VII, 2009) who investigates the birth of stars like our Sun, and the physics to build the first seeds for planets around them. She is now an ICREA research professor with the Institute for Space Sciences, where she will develop her group with the ERC Advanced Grant PEBBLES. Her research has been focusing on understanding processes responsible for the properties of stars when they form in our Galaxy, and on the role of magnetic fields in the construction of protoplanetary disks. At ICE, her team will focus on studying the physics at work for evolution of astrophysical dust into small solid particles which will become planetary systems, using state-of-the-art astronomical data from the most advanced observatories as well as models of star formation including all the relevant physical processes.
