Hello! My name is Harrison Blake-Goszyk. I am a rising second year Ph.D.
student in Astrophysics at Vanderbilt, advised by Prof. Kelly Holley-Bockelmann.
I received my B.S. in Astronomy and Physics from the Ohio State University in
May 2024, advised by Prof. Christopher Hirata.
I'm like a galactic center weather
forecaster, which means I research what types of compact objects (black holes,
neutron stars, etc) will rain down into a galactic center, and what the storm
they make will look like (trajectory modeling, QPEs, perturbation theory,
beyond-GR physics, etc). I am a member of the LISA Consortium and the EMIT
(Establishing Multi-messenger astronomy Inclusion Training) program.
Outside of
work, I like writing historical/science fiction, longsword fighting, gymnastics,
playing the cello, learning languages, reading, and cooking. You can check out
more of the things listed here in the Notes page.
