Anna Elisabeth Krause is a German astronomer and associate professor of physics at the University of Arizona.

Education

Krause received a physics Diplom from the University of Bonn in 2007. She worked with Peter Schneider from Bonn and Lars Hernquist from Harvard on a project entitled Mock Observations of Simulated Galaxy interactions. [1]

She completed a PhD at Caltech in 2012 under Chris Hirata. [1] Her thesis was called Topics in Large-Scale Structure. [2]

Career

Krause spent roughly two years each at the University of Pennsylvania, Stanford-KIPAC and Caltech-JPL as a postdoctoral fellow. In 2018, she was appointed assistant professor in physics and astronomy at the University of Arizona. [3] She was interested in working at the University of Arizona to be part of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory collaboration. [4]

Krause is a cosmologist. She works on international collaborations including the Vera C. Rubin Observatory and SPHEREx, of which she is a co-investigator. [5] She is a scientific coordinator for the Dark Energy Survey. [6] Krause is interested in isolating the cause of cosmic acceleration by developing an analysis framework to combine datasets at different wavelengths obtained through multiple surveys. [7] She is known for developing bias-free algorithms to connect the latest data with theory. [5] This is particularly important when combining datasets: while the additional information can increase accuracy, the analysis must account for the relationship between the different galactic distributions. [8] Using a blind approach can also reduce the likelihood that the analysis will be influenced by previous findings. [9] Her goal is to shed light on the nature of dark energy. [5] Based on large-scale galaxy structure information, Krause tunes models to determine the initial composition of the Universe. [1] [10]
