Expertise:
Black holes, galaxies, astronomy, women in science
Description:
My group has studied the growth of super-massive black holes at the centers of galaxies over the past 12 billion years, using space telescopes (Hubble, Chandra, Spitzer, XMM-Newton, Fermi) as well as ground-based telescopes to study their emission at radio, infrared, optical and X-ray wavelengths.
I have also worked to increase the participation of women and other under-represented groups in science.
