Astrophysicist EXPLAINS her career journey | National Science Foundation

Dr. Lia Medeiros is a NSF Postdoctoral Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS). She is interested in using computation and theory to better understand compact objects, such as black holes and is part of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration, contributing to the collaboration’s efforts to image black holes such as the M87 and Sgr A* images. Originally from Brazil, Lia moved around a lot during her younger years, and from a young age she enjoyed learning and studying math because it was the same in every country.
