Research on radio signals in Astronomy
Hello! I am Dr. Yvette Cendes, and am a postdoctoral fellow in astronomy at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, MA, USA. Specifically, I study radio astronomy signals from space from variable and transient sources, with a particular interest in supernovae and tidal disruption events (black holes that rip apart stars that get too close!). You can find my full CV here.
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. I also am a top 100 commenter on Reddit, known for my comments that begin with the catchphrase “astronomer here!”
