About Adi
I am a Porat Postdoctoral Fellow at the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology (KIPAC) at Stanford University. I study the activity of accreting supermassive black holes, across a wide range of wavelengths. Currently, I spend most of my day searching for pairs of accreting supermassive black holes that are in the process of merging. Using multi-wavelength observations and computational methods, I am analyzing how the activity of merging supermassive black holes is linked to the environment, and which factors are critical to their evolution. In my free time I enjoy hiking, running, and gardening.
