Amy Secunda, Ph.D.

Amy Secunda received her Ph.D. in astrophysical sciences from Princeton University in 2024, where she bridged the gap between observations and simulations of active galactic nuclei (AGN) accretion disks using multi-frequency radiation magnetohydrodynamic simulations and multi-wavelength UV and optical time-domain surveys of AGN. In addition to her work on AGN disks, Amy has performed research in a broad range of astrophysics subfields from reionization to planet formation. She joined the Center for Computational Astrophysics in September 2024 as a Flatiron Research Fellow.
