"The ins and outs of black hole accretion"

Dr. Luigi Gallo is a Professor and Chair of the Department of Astronomy and Physics at Saint Mary's University.  His research interests include the study of high energy X-rays emitted from black holes and active galactic nuclei.  He also plays an active role in the definition and realization of future X-ray missions including Hitomi and the recently launched XRISM X-ray observatories led by JAXA and NASA.

Qinxun Li is a PhD candidate at University of Utah. His research focuses on the measurement of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) from large-scale structure surveys. He is actively involved with DESI, especially the galaxy/quasar clustering working group, and co-leads the BAO topical group for the DR3 analysis. Beyond BAO, he is also interested in various cosmological and astrophysical topics, including galaxy-halo connection and gravitational lensing.
