Career

In 2010, Erb joined the department of physics at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee as an associate professor and became a visiting assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.[1] While working in this role, she received an National Science Foundation Early Career Development Award worth $800,000 to conduct research on galaxy formation and evolution in the early universe.[2] Erb subsequently published Feedback in low-mass galaxies in the early Universe which concluded that low-mass galaxies were vitally important to gain a better understanding of the universe's reionization.[3] In 2018, her research was recognized by the National Academy of Sciences as she was selected as a Kavli Fellow by the National Academy of Science Frontiers of Science Program.[4] Likewise, she led research at the W. M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii to examine a particular ultraviolet wavelength of light that illuminates a gaseous halo surrounding Q2343-BX418.[5] During the COVID-19 pandemic, Erb was ranked in the top 2% of scientists around the world[6] and named Research Mentor of the Year.[7]
