Rebecca Bowler is an Ernest Rutherford Fellow at the University of Manchester, specializing in the formation and evolution of galaxies in the early universe. Her research focuses on the robust identification of galaxies during cosmic dawn through multi-wavelength datasets, emphasizing the significance of massive galaxies in the cosmic reionization process and properties of dust in galaxies. Utilizing a range of telescopes, including optical imaging from Subaru, near-infrared imaging from VISTA and Euclid, and sub-mm and radio observations from ALMA and MeerKAT, she investigates dust-obscured star formation. Rebecca is also dedicated to promoting accessibility and diversity in physics, advocating for inclusive practices within the academic community. She has held various fellowships, including the Junior Research Fellowships at New College and Brasenose College at the University of Oxford. She completed her PhD at the University of Edinburgh under the supervision of Professors James Dunlop and Ross McLure, where she focused on the evolution of bright star-forming galaxies over a billion years. Additionally, she has received several prestigious awards for her contributions to the field, including the Henry Mosley Prize Medal from the Institute of Physics and the Winton Award from the Royal Astronomical Society.
