Amina Helmi

Amina Helmi (1970) is hoogleraar Dynamica, structuur en vorming van de Melkweg. Helmi schreef een baanbrekend proefschrift (waarvoor ze de Christiaan Huygens-prijs 2004 ontving) waarin de geschiedenis en het ontstaan van onze Melkweg in een nieuw licht werden geplaatst: ons Melkwegstelstel is waarschijnlijk geleidelijk aangegroeid met kleinere sterrenstelsels. Helmi spoort die aparte sterrenstelsels ('fossielen') op en bedrijft dus een soort astro-archeologie; ze gebruikt de informatie van sterfossielen om het ontstaan van de Melkweg te reconstrueren.

Helmi heeft een aantal gerenommeerde subsidies ontvangen, zoals een VIDI van NWO in 2003 en, in 2009, een ERC Starting Grant van de EU. Ze is actief in allerlei internationale netwerken en is in 2017 benoemd tot lid van de Koninklijke Nederlandse Akademie van Wetenschappen. Een team met Amina Helmi bracht in augustus 2014 in Science voor het eerst de ruimtelijke verdeling van de onbekende materie tussen de sterren in beeld. Helmi is nauw betrokken bij de in 2013 gelanceerde GAIA-telescoop die met zeer preciese metingen het Melkwegstelsel in kaart brengt. In 2015 ontving ze voor haar onderzoek hiernaar een VICI-subsidie en in 2017 opnieuw een NWO-subsidie. In 2018 kreeg ze met haar onderzoeksgroep als een van de eersten de gelegenheid om de tweede set gegevens van de GAIA-telescoop te bestuderen. Helmi ontdekte daarmee dat de Melkweg tien miljard jaar geleden een groot stelsel heeft opgeslokt.

Voor haar baanbrekende onderzoek ontving Helmi in 2019 de Spinozapremie, de 'Nederlandse Nobelprijs'.
