Daniel Palumbo
Biography
Daniel Palumbo received a S.B. in Physics from MIT in 2018 and a Ph.D. in Astrophysics from Harvard in 2023. His work focuses on extracting novel physical insights from very-long-baseline interferometry data, with a recent focus on the photon ring, the observational signature of light orbiting a black hole. Daniel also studies the magnetization and dynamics of black hole accretion flows, and their relationship to black hole spin and energy extraction. Among several leadership positions across the EHT, ngEHT, and BHEX consortia, Daniel also coordinates the local VLBI-related summer internship programs; interested students from Harvard and from external institutions should always feel welcome to reach out.
