Our Mission

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.

🔭

Cutting-Edge Instrumentation

ELT/HARMONI, JWST/NIRSpec, ALMA - the most powerful tools in observational astrophysics.

💻

Advanced Simulations

Mock observations and dynamical modeling to push measurement limits and plan future observations.
