Marianne Vestergaard received her PhD in Astrophysics from the Niels Bohr Institute in 1999 after conducting research at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. She has worked at Ohio State University, Arizona, and Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts, all in the USA. In 2009, she returned to the Niels Bohr Institute as a Freja Fellow at the Faculty of Science at the University of Copenhagen. Her research focuses on the physics of distant, young galaxies called quasars, which emit powerful radiation due to material falling into a supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy. She is particularly interested in determining the mass of these black holes and investigating how the intense energy output from the active core of the quasars affects their surroundings. Marianne utilizes a variety of telescopes that are sensitive to X-ray, ultraviolet, visual, infrared, sub-millimeter, and radio radiation. Recently, she has utilized data from the Very Large Telescope at the European Southern Observatory in Chile, the Atacama Pathfinder Experiment (APEX), the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA), the Hubble Space Telescope, and Swift X-ray and UV-optical telescope.
