}}Catherine Heymans {{post-nominals|country=GBR|FRSE}} is a British astrophysicist and Professor at the University of Edinburgh based at the Royal Observatory, Edinburgh.[2][3][4][5]

Education

Heymans received a first class Master of Physics (MPhys) degree from the University of Edinburgh in 2000.{{citation needed|date=November 2018}} In 2003 she received her Doctor of Philosophy from University of Oxford for research supervised by Lance Miller and Alan Heavens on gravitational lensing.[1]

Career and research

She won a series of prestigious fellowships at Max Planck Institute for Astronomy, University of British Columbia, Institut d'astrophysique de Paris and University of Edinburgh.{{clarify|date=November 2018}} In 2009 she was awarded a starting grant from the European Research Council (ERC) and subsequently{{when|date=November 2018}} appointed a lecturer at the University of Edinburgh.

Heymans is best known for her work on using the technique of cosmic weak gravitational lensing to learn more about the Universe. She led the Shear Testing Programme STEP1 competition [6] and co-leads the lensing collaboration of the Canada–France–Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey: CFHTLenS.[7][8]

Heymans is one of the leaders of the European Southern Observatory (ESO) Kilo-Degree Survey. In 2018 she was awarded €1.5m of funding by the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics. The award will be used to create a research group at the Argelander-Institute for Astronomy (AlfA) in Bonn.[9]

Heymans teaches on the Massive open online course (MOOC) at Coursera on AstroTech: The Science and Technology behind Astronomical Discovery.[10] Her research has been funded by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC).[11]

Awards and honours

Heymans was awarded the George Darwin Lectureship by the Royal Astronomical Society in 2017.[12] In 2018 she was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (FRSE).[13]
