[4] Her doctoral dissertation, Dissecting the gravitational lens B1608+656: Implications for the Hubble constant, was jointly supervised by Roger Blandford and Kip Thorne.

[3] She returned to Germany in 2016 with a joint position at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics and Technical University of Munich.

[2] She was the 2021 recipient of the Lancelot M. Berkeley − New York Community Trust Prize for Meritorious Work in Astronomy of the American Astronomical Society.
