Abstract

This article focuses on Dr. Alexandra Amon, a cosmologist and winner of the Caroline Herschel Lectureship, discussing her scientific work, inspirations, and perspectives on astronomy. Amon highlights her dedication to addressing major cosmological questions such as the nature of dark matter and resolving tensions in measurements like the Hubble constant and the S8 parameter. She emphasizes the transformative potential of upcoming astronomical projects, including the Vera Rubin Observatory and the Dark Energy Survey, while also addressing the importance of fostering inclusive, collaborative environments in the era of big data. Amon reflects on her personal journey into astrophysics and encourages young scientists to seek support and remain curious despite challenges in the field.
