Dr Ana Duarte Cabral is an Astrophysicist, and her research is focused on understanding how stars form within spiral galaxies like our own. For her work, she uses both computer models and real observations of the interstellar gas in our Milky Way galaxy, as well as in nearby spiral galaxies. She did her PhD at the University of Manchester, and has since worked at the University of Bordeaux, University of Exeter, and Cardiff University, where she is now a Royal Society University Research Fellow, and Senior Lecturer. Her love for science comes from a very young age, where she was always curious about how the world worked, and following a career in Astrophysics was a dream come true - especially coming from a small town in rural Portugal. She is passionate about engaging with the community, and in particular with young students, and sharing the curiosity-driven passion for all STEM subjects.
