麻豆AV

奥颈迟丑听,聽Associate Professor of Physics in the 麻豆AV Space Institute

Dr. Haggard's 麻豆AV Extreme Gravity and Accretion group investigates the most extreme endpoints for matter in the Universe, black holes and neutron stars,聽employing cutting-edge observational tests of Einstein's theory of general relativity and of plasma and accretion physics and pushing these black hole frontiers. Dr. Haggard will聽offer a brief, fun overview of her group's black hole studies and describe what future black hole studies may look like.

Daryl Haggard is an Associate Professor of Physics at 麻豆AV and the 麻豆AV Space Institute. Her research focuses on black holes and neutron stars and leads multi-wavelength and time-domain studies regarding supermassive black holes and their expansion. In 2019, through the Event Horizon Telescope collaboration her team was able to report an image of a black hole鈥檚 shadow in 2019; she was honoured by La Presse for this discovery as Personalit茅 de la semaine. Professor Haggard also co-led the identification of the first X-Ray counterpart of the first neutron star merger of GW170817; this earned her team a Top 10 Discovery of 2018 award by Qu茅bec Science and was Science Magazine鈥檚 2017 Breakthrough of the Year. She has been honoured in her contributions to science with a CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholars Award in the Gravity and the Extreme Universe Program as well as a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Multi-Messenger Astrophysics. In 2020, her Event Horizon Telescope team received the 2020 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics.
