Biography

Paul Tiede obtained his Ph.D. at the University of Waterloo and Perimeter Institute in 2021. He is interested in the intersection of accretion modeling and Bayesian inference. He is an active member of the Event Horizon Telescope and next-generation Event Horizon Telescope. He is interested in combining high-performance computing, Bayesian inference, and statistics to learn about accretion around black holes, jet dynamics, and the nature of gravity near the event horizon. He is an active member of the Julia programming language community and works with statisticians and software engineers to develop tools that enable precise measurements and scientific discoveries from astronomical data.
