Delilah Gates: Black Hole Basics! (#156)

Harvard's Dr. Delilah Gates joins to discuss the fascinating &
foreboding subject of black holes! Black holes are mysterious
objects that have perplexed humanity for centuries, yet Delilah
reveals new perspectives on their most inscrutable properties via
in-depth studies of their spins, entropy, event horizons &
more. Dr. Delilah Gates is Harvard's second African American woman
to receive a Ph.D. in physics. Before joining Harvard, she earned
two Bachelors of Science degrees: one in physics and one in math,
from the University of Maryland, College Park. She studies
high-spin black holes and gravity working to analytically
characterize observational signatures of near extremal Kerr black
holes using the emergent near-horizon conformal symmetry. Her
interests include (near) extremal black hole geometries, black hole
binaries, AdS/CFT correspondence, and black hole entropy. Find her
