Nicole Nesvadba, directrice de recherche at the CNRS, is an expert in galaxy evolution based at the Laboratoire Lagrange at the Observatoire de la Côte d’Azur in Nice, France.
Ananth Tenneti - I completed my PhD in Physics at Carnegie Mellon University in December 2016. I have studied intrinsic alignments of galaxies using cosmological hydrodynamical simulations. Intrinsic alignments are an important astrophysical systematic in the weak lensing analysis for upcoming surveys such as the LSST (Rubin) and Euclid.

Talk Title and Abstract
Come join Women in Physics and Astronomy for a live viewing of the University of Waterloo's International Women's Day High Tea Social. This event will be hosted at the Graduate House (200 University Ave W.) and is a great opportunity to meet fellow physicists and enjoy some delicious snacks!
If you have interest in attending, please fill out the survey below, and register for the event with the link provided.
Tom Rose is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Waterloo focusing on radio observations of massive galaxies and galaxy clusters. His principal work looks at the shadows of molecular gas clouds cast against the bright active galactic nuclei at the centres of these galaxies. This can tell us about the properties of the gas and how it relates to supermassive black hole accretion.
