Roman Gold is an Assistant Professor at CP3-Origins, University of Southern Denmark.  He is a member of the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration and was awarded the 2022 EHT Early Career Award for his significant contribution and leadership in the geometric modelling process and the analysis of the Sgr A* source structure.  

The new WCA-KPL Astronomy Talk series takes place on the last Wednesday of each month, and is jointly organized by the Waterloo Centre for Astrophysics and KPL.

Dark matter and dark energy drive the growth of our Universe, but the true nature of this strange "dark Universe" is still a mystery to scientists. Join us to hear Dr. Will Percival from the Waterloo Centre for Astrophysics, University of Waterloo speak about the Euclid satellite, due to launch in July 2023. Euclid will attempt to map out and explore our Universe, and help us to understand dark matter and dark energy like never before!

Prof. August E. (Gus) Evrard is a first generation computational cosmologist and educational innovator at the University of Michigan. Author of the first computational algorithm to enable multi-fluid cosmological simulations of galaxy formation, Prof. Evrard's astrophysical research aims to understand clusters of galaxies, the rarest and largest gravitationally bound systems in the universe.  

Astronomy on Tap is a series of monthly events that take place in bars and pubs in more than 50 cities worldwide. They are aimed at the general public and consist of accessible, engaging presentations on space and science, designed to share astronomy in a fun, relaxed, informal environment.

Connor Stone is currently Postdoctoral Fellow at the Université de Montréal with an NSERC Postdoctoral Fellowship and a CITA National Fellowship after receiving his Ph.D from Queen's University in 2022. He is a University of Waterloo alumnus, class of 2016.

Mohammad Zhoolideh Haghighi is an assistant professor at the K. N. Tossi University of Technology. He studies different aspects of galaxy groups and galaxy clusters, including their dynamical relaxation and their hydrodynamics. Mohammad also takes advantage of machine learning techniques in astronomy for object detection, image processing, and automating telescopes in observatories. 

Marco Bonici is a postdoc at the Waterloo Centre for Astrophysics at the University of Waterloo. Originally from Genova, in 2017 he completed his Bachelors and Masters degree at Università degli Studi di Genova in Theoretical Physics. He completed his PhD in Physics and Astrophysics in 2021 at University of Genova, under the supervision of Dr. Carmelita Carbone.
