Dr. Anna Ho's research uses telescopes located all over the world and in space to study the lives and deaths of stars and the physics of those phenomena and other energetic cosmic events. She uses wide-field surveys along with targeted observations from gamma-ray to radio wavelengths, and works to understand the physical processes governing the observed emission. She is an active member of several international collaborations, and serves as co-chair of the gamma-ray bursts working group for the ULTRASAT mission.

Dr. Shaon Ghosh is an astrophysicist working on detection and analysis of gravitational wave data. He is engaged in developing tools for understanding the structure of neutron stars. Neutron stars are fascinating objects, with matter inside the neutron star predicted to be denser than the matter inside the atomic nucleus. He works on extracting the deformability information from their imprint on the gravitational waves. By measuring the tidal deformability, Dr. Ghosh makes inferences on various models of the equation of state of the matter inside the neutron star.
