🌟🚨big news! 🚨🌟 Thrilled to announce that I accepted a position as a tenure-track Assistant Prof. in the amazing astronomy department of @ucsdastro @UCSanDiego 🥰starting Sept 1! 🙌astro.ucsd.edu/people/facult…
Come visit/join my gravitational-wave paleontology group & UCSD!🩶
🚨 New gravitational-wave results from @LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA (GWTC-4) are out! So many exciting insights + gorgeous plots 🔥✨ Huge kudos to LVK for making data openly accessible 🙌
I made a (biased!) astro summary of key highlights 👉 bit.ly/3BYhxol

Voorpagina @nrc: mijn interview met @FloorAstro. Haar ‘paleontologie van zwaartekrachtgolven’ onthult de geschiedenis van het heelal. Ze staat voor #DEI, ook nu op @UCSanDiego. Een ‘citizen of astronomy’ (👈@edobergerhvd) die zwarte gaten maakt tot lichtpuntjes in donkere tijden!

Ready to challenge yourself in the new year? Are you at @UCSanDiego? Then join us January 11-12th for a ML hackathon to find anomalies in data (such as gravitational waves! ) Organized by @ucsdastro @SDSC_UCSD @UCSDPhysics @HDSIUCSD for the @NSF HDR ML Challenge 💻💻
🚨 We are hiring Postdoc Fellows in Gravitational Waves / Compact Objects / Massive Stars 🌟 🚨adv: aas.org/jobregister/ad/28026…… more info: docs.google.com/document/d/1……
Come join our fantastic campus & department!
@ucsdastro @UCSanDiego👇🌟-& yes we are also taking PhD students!

wow wow POSYDON version 2 is out!!! 🥳 including lower metallicity simulations! This is a significant effort in our field to provide more accurate modeling of large populations of massive stars 🥳🥳 arxiv.org/abs/2411.02376
work led by a large group of scientists, including fantastic early career people who are (or soon will be) on the (postdoc/faculty) job market such as Zepei Xing, Kyle Rocha, @ynxmonica, Max briel, & Seth Gossage. Keep an eye out for these amazing massive star experts!
