"I study supermassive, hyperactive black holes called blazars in order to understand how nature does particle acceleration. I use blazars–supermassive black holes at the centers of massive galaxies that “spin up” jets of particles moving at nearly the speed of light–as my laboratory. By obtaining observations across the electromagnetic spectrum from radio, optical, and all the way through to gamma-rays, I piece together how and why these black holes are able to create such efficient particle accelerators and, by extension, I understand the universe a tiny bit better.

"I use observations to study the most common type of star in our Galaxy: small, cool stars called M dwarfs. How do these stars' spins and magnetic properties change over time? What types of planets orbit them?" Read more about the 2019 incoming Faculty members including Professor Newton from Dartmouth News
