About
Adeline Wang is a leading astronomical instrumentation scientist whose work has dramatically expanded our capacity to map the nearby universe. Her research centers on the design, construction, and commissioning of integral field spectrographs (IFS)—instruments that capture a spectrum for every pixel in an image, enabling detailed 3D views of galaxies. Wang’s major contribution is her central role in developing **Hector**, a modular IFS for the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT). Building on the success of the SAMI instrument, Hector uses high filling-fraction imaging fibre bundles to observe dozens of galaxies simultaneously. Wang’s work on Hector’s performance and commissioning, documented in papers with over 13 combined citations, has been pivotal. The instrument, completed by Australia’s Astralis consortium, began a landmark 15,000-galaxy survey in 2023. This achievement places Wang at the forefront of a new era in galaxy evolution studies, providing the astronomical community with an unprecedented dataset to understand how galaxies form and change over time.
