A prestigious grant for Marijke!

Submitter: Raffaella Morganti
Description: As most of you know by now, Marijke Haverkorn has been awarded a prestigious NWO VIDI grant. Such a grant is part of the Innovational Research Incentives Scheme (in Dutch: Vernieuwingsimpuls) that NWO uses to support young, talented researchers to develop their own project and to build up a research group.

Marijke arrived at ASTRON just over a year ago as staff member of the astronomy group. She did her PhD in Leiden (supervised by Ger de Bruyn and Peter Katgert) and was postDoc first at Harvard University and later at the University of California (Berkeley) as Jansky Fellow.
Her main interest has been always polarimetry and the study of the interstellar medium in our Galaxy. Since she arrived at ASTRON, she has fully immersed herself in LOFAR, fighting hard to have the galactic magnetism as a prominent topic in the long to-do list for LOFAR.

With this grant, she is now ready to fully exploit LOFAR data with the help of students and postDocs!

Congratulations Marijke!
