Kirsten Knudsen uses large, modern telescopes such as ALMA, VLT, IRAM PdBI, and VLA to study the properties of redshift z=2-7 (lensed) submillimeter galaxies and quasar host galaxies. She receives funding from the VR and KAW as a Wallenberg Academy Fellow. Her research group includes the PhD students Judit Fogasy and Jean-Baptiste Jolly, and the postdocs Suzy Jones and Flora Stanley (former members include Lulu Fan, Guillaume Drouart, Theresa Nilsson, and Lukas Lindroos).
