Anna Williams (IN PERSON)

Anna Williams is an Assistant Professor of Astronomy at Macalester College. A Minnesota native, she completed her Bachelor’s degree at Wesleyan University and her PhD at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Anna researches the formation and evolution of galaxies, with a primary focus on the magnetic fields in these systems. She uses radio telescopes around the world to better understand the role of magnetic fields in the life cycles of stars and galaxies. This work has given Anna the opportunity to travel both through space (visiting telescopes from New Mexico to the Netherlands to Australia) and time (observing light from events that happened billions of years ago). As a fan of Doctor Who, Anna is excited to attend her first CONsole Room and share how astronomy makes us all time travelers!
