Senior🎓
Top SchoolPallavi Patil is an Assistant Research Scientist and former postdoctoral fellow at Johns Hopkins University with 8 years of experience probing active galaxies and the role of supermassive black holes in galaxy evolution. She specializes in radio-frequency data analysis from the VLA, building scalable Python pipelines for Fourier imaging, spectral modeling, and statistical inference using chi-square and Bayesian methods. Her work blends hands-on software engineering—automating reductions of 100s of GBs and adaptive spatial binning—with astrophysical insight, having identified young SMBHs in a majority of studied quasars and discovered new submillimeter galaxies. Based in Baltimore, she brings a rare combination of rigorous statistical techniques and practical pipeline optimization that accelerates science-ready results.
