About Us

Our research aims to understand central black holes of galaxies, how they formed and co-evolved with the host using the strongest telescopes: ELT, HST, JWST, ALMA, and more.

Understanding How Black Holes Shape Their Cosmic Hosts

Using the world's most powerful telescopes, we push the frontier of dynamical black hole mass measurements — from the lowest-mass galaxies in the nearby universe to the most massive ellipticals at cosmic distances. Our work constrains the co-evolutionary link between black holes and galaxies across 13 billion years of cosmic history.
