Jayanne English is a Senior Scholar in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Manitoba, where she investigates galaxies’ structure and kinematics and how galaxies evolve; and does scientific visualization.  She was awarded the 2021 Qilak Award for Astronomy Communications, Public Education, and Outreach by the Canadian Astronomical Society/Société Canadienne d’Astronomie (CASCA). Although she is renowned for constructing astronomy outreach images for the public, which garner millions of hits on the internet, this award was in part for her engagement with artists and the collaborative works they have produced. She received membership in the Order of Canada in 2023 for interfacing artistic literacy and aesthetics with scientific visualization. As an Associate Professor at the University of Manitoba, she trained the next generation of experts and emphasized the links between art and science. She received her PhD in Astronomy and Astrophysics at the Australian National University, a Bachelor of Science in Physics and Astronomy from the University of Toronto, and a diploma in General Studies from the Ontario College of Art and Design University.
