ANGELO RICARTE

I study how supermassive black holes interact with their environments from event horizon to cosmological scales.  I serve as a theory working group coordinator for the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration and black hole demographics coordinator for the Black Hole Explorer (BHEX).  Along with Sara Issaoun, I co-led the project to make the first polarized image of the black hole at the center of our galaxy, Sagittarius A*.

I am a second-generation Filipino-American astrophysicist born and raised in La Mirada, CA.  I am an astrophysicist at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian. I completed my Ph.D at Yale University with Priya Natarajan, and was a postdoctoral fellow at the Black Hole Initiative.
