Space Sciences/Astrophysics Seminar with Joseph Neilsen

Joseph Neilsen is an assistant professor in the Physics Department at Villanova University and an expert in high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy and spectral variability of black holes. His research focuses on black holes and neutron stars in the Milky Way galaxy. As an observational astrophysicist, he uses space- and ground-based telescopes (Chandra, NuSTAR, XRISM, JVLA, Gemini) to study the behavior of these extreme gravitational objects.
