Research and career
In 2017, Mutlu-Pakdil was appointed a postdoctoral research associate at University of Arizona. She worked at the Steward Observatory looking at the structure and dynamics of astrophysical objects, including dwarf galaxies, galactic rings and supermassive black holes.[2] She used telescopes in Chile and Hawaii.[6] At UA, she co-chaired the Women in Astronomy group.[7] She was an American Astronomical Society ambassador.[8]
During her doctoral studies, Mutlu-Pakdil discovered the galaxy
She worked with the
In 2019, Mutlu-Pakdil was announced an AAAS IF/THEN Ambassador[20] and in 2020 she became a TED Senior Fellow.[21]
Burcin Mutlu-Pakdil is searching for the most peculiar objects in the Universe.[1] In her own words, Mutlu-Pakdil uses "both large photometric surveys from ground-based and space telescopes in order to discover and characterize the smallest and faintest galaxies in the universe, and the role of dark matter in their formation."[22]
