Biography

Antonia Rowlinson is an Assistant Professor at the Anton Pannekoek Institute for Astronomy at the University of Amsterdam and a Junior Scientist at ASTRON (The Dutch Institute for Radio Astronomy). She completed her PhD on gamma-ray bursts at the University of Leicester in 2011 and subsequently moved to the University of Amsterdam for a three-year postdoctoral position. Her research revolves around radio transients, utilizing low frequency radio telescopes such as LOFAR (the LOw Frequency ARray, Netherlands) and MWA (Murchison Widefield Array, Australia). She has a significant role in the development of automated transient detection pipelines and enhancing rapid response observational modes for LOFAR. Additionally, her work includes searching for unexpected sources and investigating electromagnetic counterparts in neutron star binary mergers through radio follow-ups of gravitational wave detections. She teaches the Honours Bachelor's course 'Modern Astronomy' and coordinates the Master's course 'Open Problems in Modern Astrophysics'.
