Ekaterina Ilin
Postdoc In Radio Astronomy at ASTRON
Groningen, Groningen, Netherlands
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEkaterina Ilin is a radio astronomer with nine years of research experience studying stellar magnetic activity, star–planet interactions, and exoplanetary space weather, currently a postdoc at ASTRON in the Netherlands. Her work blends radio, X-ray, and optical observations to probe how stellar magnetism shapes habitability and long-term system evolution, building on postdoctoral and Fulbright research at AIP and the American Museum of Natural History. She combines rigorous astrophysical data analysis with a focus on real-world risk reduction—engaged in Effective Altruism and previously chairing the German EA Network—bringing rare interdisciplinary perspective to scientific questions. Trained in physics and astrophysics at KIT and Universität Potsdam, she is as comfortable with instrumentation and spectroscopy as with big-picture thinking about global catastrophic risks.
