Before merging, both black holes were spinning exceptionally fast, and their masses fell into a range that should be very rare — or impossible.

Snigdaa Sethuram (Ph.D. PHYS 2025) recently joined the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility as a Margaret Butler Fellow in Computational Science.

J. Cole Faggert, a Ph.D. student in the School of Physics, will use multi-wavelength imaging to study supermassive black holes and the physics of their plasma flows.

Wang has been awarded a NASA Space Technology Graduate Research Opportunity to develop mathematically grounded solutions for landing spacecraft.
