Bio

I am a Porat Postdoctoral Fellow at the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology at Stanford University. My research is focused on high-energy astrophysics, where I analyze X-ray activity in space using observations taken by the Chandra X-ray Observatory. I study a variety of supermassive black hole environments in order to understand which factors are critical to their evolution. Most of my day is spent searching for dual AGN and studying their activity.
