Supermassive Black Hole Astrophysicist

ABOUT ME

I study how supermassive black holes interact with their environments from event horizon to cosmological scales.  I am a very active member of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration.  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 now a Black Hole Initiative Fellow at Harvard University.  I completed my Ph.D at Yale University with Priya Natarajan, and now work mainly with Ramesh Narayan

RESEARCH

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) takes resolved images of black holes at the centers of galaxies.  I use multi-frequency polarized images to understand how black holes eat matter and launch jets.
