Julia Bodensteiner is a postdoctoral researcher at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in Garching by Munich, Germany. She began her academic career at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany, and studied at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain, for one year during her bachelor's degree. She then continued with a master degree at the TUM and successfully completed a collaborative Master's thesis between the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics and the European Southern Observatory, focusing on observational astrophysics. For her Ph.D. thesis, Julia worked with Prof. Hugues Sana at the Institute of Astronomy at KU Leuven, Belgium. Her main research interests lie in the observational characterization of massive stars, with emphasize on the impact of stellar multiplicity on the evolution of stars and an observational approach to test and refine evolution theories of massive single and multiple stars.
