I am working these weeks on many animations of gravitational-wave sources for the Harvard Horizons Program. Below is a very early draft of an animation that could go with a sentence like “”all around us pairs of Black Holes collide, releasing a burst of gravitational waves that can travel million of years to reach us on earth “

Presented our CfA white paper during the Science retreat of our department. We emphasized that the new frontier of gravitational-wave astrophysics is very exciting and will enable many discoveries in the coming decades, and that CfA could have a leading role in this endeavor by strengthening collaborations with the gravitational-wave experts at MIT and the Black Hole Initiative.

— I am moving to New York this summer! — I am excited to announce that I accepted a Postdoc Fellowship as Junior Fellow in the Simons Society of Fellows with Columbia University as host, as well as a Postdoc Fellowship as Simons Foundation Research Fellow at the CCA. This means that I can be a postdoc fellow for 5 years in New York and on a daily basis will share my time between CCA/Flatiron Institute and Columbia University, where I will work in the THEA group and with Brian Metzger as host. Looking forward to this! Please pass by at any point, I am always happy to host!

We restarted the CfA Machine Learning Journal Club this semester with a wonderful group of organizers: Nayantara Mudur, Carolina Cuesta-Lazaro, Cecilia Garaffo, and Floor Broekgaarden. Excitingly it will be part of the CAMeL initiative of CfA to have a CfA-wide effort to pursue Machine Learning Projects across the Astrophysics divisions of CfA. 🙂

I am selected as a Harvard Horizons 2023 scholar!
“The Harvard Horizons Scholars are selected by the Harvard Horizons Faculty Fellows as representatives of the extraordinary researchers who make up Harvard’s PhD community. These nine students form the tenth class of the Society of Horizons Scholars, a fellowship cohort that offers opportunities for long-lasting community, mentorship, and professional and academic growth. The scholars will receive in-depth mentoring on the art of effective presentation, preparing them for a campus-wide symposium on April 11, 2023, at 4:30 p.m. in Sanders Theatre.”

Feeling incredibly proud to close this semester’s Early-career Astronomers & Their Supporters Workshop series at the Center for Astrophysics with a workshop on workplace civility resources & support. This workshop was in collaboration with CfA director Lisa Kewley, Dr Christina Richey and many local ombudspersons, title IX, and other workplace civility resources. I feel very grateful for all the support, including over 300+ attendees. The links and video can be found on my website tab for the CfA-ECA workshop.
