Timeline
Eline Tolstoy, born in 1965, is a distinguished Dutch astronomer recognized for her significant contributions to understanding the formation and evolution of dwarf galaxies through the study of their resolved stellar populations.
Tolstoy grew up in Scotland and gained a BSc (Hons) from the University of Edinburgh in 1988.
She studied at Leiden University (doctoral, 1990) and then in 1995, she received her doctorate from the University of Groningen, under the supervision of A. Saha, Piet van der Kruit and Harvey Butcher.
The title of her thesis was `Modeling the resolved stellar populations of nearby dwarf galaxies'.
Educated at the University of Edinburgh and the University of Groningen, where she received her doctorate in 1995, Tolstoy has held postdoctoral positions in Germany and at Oxford University.
She worked as an ESA Postdoctoral Fellow, at ST-ECF Garching, Germany (1996–1998), followed by an ESO postdoctoral fellowship, Garching, Germany (1998–2000).
She spent a year at Oxford University as Gemini Support Scientist.
Since 2001, she has been affiliated with the University of Groningen, becoming a full professor at the Kapteyn Institute in 2011.
Tolstoy's work, which she describes as 'Galactic Palaeontology', aims to shed light on the broader cosmological processes involved in galaxy formation and evolution.
Her leadership role in the MICADO instrument project for the European Extremely Large Telescope underscores her prominent position in the field.
She has been working at the University of Groningen since 2001.
Tolstoy's excellence in research and teaching has been recognized with several awards, including the 2006 Lecturer of the Year at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences in Groningen and the 2007 Pastoor Schmeitsprijs.
She was the 2006 Lecturer of the Year of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences in Groningen
In 2007, she received a Vici grant from the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research.
She won the 2007 Pastoor Schmeitsprijs, simultaneously with Simon Portegies Zwart.
She has been a full professor at the Kapteyn Institute of the University of Groningen since 2011.
Tolstoy is the Dutch project leader for the MICADO instrument that accompanies the European Extremely Large Telescope.
Her research interests centre mainly on understanding the formation and evolution of small dwarf galaxies by studying their resolved stellar populations.
She is interested to discover what these systems can tell us about larger galaxies and their internal processes and also the clues that they may provide to our cosmological understanding of galaxy formation and evolution; right from the earliest phases up to the present day.
This is often called ‘Local Group Cosmology’, or ‘Stellar Archaeology.
Tolstoy prefers the term ‘Galactic Palaeontology’
She gave the 2013 Royal Astronomical Society George Darwin Lecture with the title 'Galactic Archaeology.’
