Biography

My current research focuses on reverse engineering near-horizon supermassive black hole observations from intercontinental baselines of radio telescopes –primarily the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT)– using a methodology I call “Observing” Jet/Accretion flow/Black hole (JAB) Simulations. I lead the first EHT research group in Texas, primarily conducting research within the EHT Theory and Simulations Working Group. I also lead the EHT Outreach Group for the Americas, and have established nexuses between EHT and networks supporting diversity in the sciences such the NSBP/SAO EHT Scholars program.
