Delilah received her Ph.D. in Physics from Harvard University in 2021 and B.S.s in Physics and in Mathematics from the University of Maryland, College Park in 2015.  Before returning to Harvard, Delilah was a postdoctoral fellow of the Princeton Gravity Initiative and the Princeton Future Faculty in the Physical Sciences. Delilah’s research focuses on constraining properties of black holes, especially black hole spin, through analytic and semi-analytic methods which leverage features of black hole spacetime geometries and the radiation sourced near black holes.
