Research on radio signals in Astronomy
I am currently a PhD candidate in astronomy at Leiden Observatory in the Netherlands, but am based at the Dunlap Institute for Astronomy & Astrophysics at the University of Toronto, Canada. Specifically, I study radio astronomy signals from space from variable and transient sources, with a particular interest in supernovae.
Writing about science
When not doing research, I also regularly write freelance articles for various media. These articles have appeared in magazines such as Astronomy, Discover, and Sky & Telescope.

Welcome! My name is Yvette Cendes, and I am a Hungarian-American astronomer living in the Netherlands who is the only person on Earth who has been to Everest Base Camp and punched by a wild mountain gorilla. Beyond this, however, I engage in a lot of activities, which you can read more about here.
