I’m joining University of Nevada, Las Vegas, as a NCfA fellow. Never expected to live in Vegas but it's been great so far (except the heat)!
Always good to have a place nearby to get extra cash for my research budget 🎰
Let’s see where my career will take me next couple of years.

[Carl-Johan Haster @CJHaster]

I'd say that @NevadaCfA is ok on this scale 😃

[NCfA @NevadaCfA]

Congratulations to Margaret!

[Carl-Johan Haster @CJHaster]

Big congratulations to Margaret Johnston who successfully defended their PhD today (the first student in my group @NevadaCfA & @UNLV_CoS to do so)!

@CJHaster @LIGO @UWM @mpi_grav @unihh @Stockholm_Uni @GRAPPAinstitute @UvA_Amsterdam @Dr_CMingarelli @Yale @NANOGrav @UofGravity @UNLV_CoS @NevadaCfA Some more of you! Such interesting work, fab 🙌🏾

[Carl-Johan Haster @CJHaster]

@LIGO @UWM @mpi_grav @unihh @Stockholm_Uni @samayanissanke @GRAPPAinstitute @UvA_Amsterdam @Dr_CMingarelli @Yale @NANOGrav @UofGravity Next up is me (@UNLV_CoS @NevadaCfA)
I talked about the population of black holes, and the exciting structure (and correlations) it exhibits!

[Carl-Johan Haster @CJHaster]

Very excited to attend (and, later this afternoon, speak) at a Gravitational Wave symposium hosted by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences (@ScienceAcad_swe) in Stockholm.

[UNLV College of Sciences @UNLV_CoS]

Congratulations to all of our College of Sciences students graduating this weekend, including Shangjia Zhang who is featured as a 2024 outstanding spring graduate!

[NCfA @NevadaCfA]

Big congratulations to Shangjia, happy to have hosted you here at @NevadaCfA for the last couple of years. Looking forward to follown your future endeavours!

[Shangjia Zhang @freezsj]

🌟 Honored to win the UNLV Outstanding Student Award at yesterday's commencement! Big thanks to my advisor, Dr. Zhaohuan Zhu, and all who supported me. Moving on to Columbia University as a NHFP Sagan Fellow. Excited for the next chapter! #Grateful #NextChapter 🚀

[Carl-Johan Haster @CJHaster]

Yet again, I have done a science!

NCfA postdoc @MariosKalomen presenting his work on GW population modelling at the @APSphysics April meeting.
Gaussian distributions turns out to be the solution to understanding the complex structure of black hole populations.

[Sylvia Biscoveanu @sylvia_bisco]

@PotatoAsad @sasomao @quarkcharmer_ @MariosKalomen presents a method to look for multiple correlations simultaneously rather than just between pairs of parameters (with @CJHaster) - the solution is more Gaussians!

[NCfA @NevadaCfA]

@GeorgiaTech @LISACommunity Stephanie Wissel (@penn_state, @PhysicsAtPSU) talking about neutrino astronomy at ultra-high energies with future neutrino experiments.

[NCfA @NevadaCfA]

The last session in the @NevadaCfA symposium will focus on future observations

[NCfA @NevadaCfA]

Tamara Bogdanovic (@GeorgiaTech) starts the session with a discussion about massive black hole binaries observable with @LISACommunity.

[NCfA @NevadaCfA]

@APC_Laboratory @Columbia @PhysicsColumbia @LucaComisso Katie Breivik (@CarnegieMellon) is telling us about *all* the exciting astrophysics governing observations of compact objects

[NCfA @NevadaCfA]

Starting the final day of the @NevadaCfA symposium with a session covering the many physical processes governing the multimessenger observations we are looking for.

[NCfA @NevadaCfA]

@APC_Laboratory Next up is Luca Comisso (@Columbia, @PhysicsColumbia) discussing particle Acceleration in jets and coronae
