Feryal Ozel is the chair and professor in the School of Physics at Georgia Institute of Technology, where her research in astrophysics focuses on theoretical and computational studies of the properties, formation, and environments of black holes and neutron stars. A founding member of the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration, an inaugural member of the EHT Science Council and lead of the EHT Modeling Working Group, Ozel developed new techniques to study black hole environments, made predictions of black hole images that guided the development of the EHT, and led efforts to constrain physics beyond General Relativity. In 2022, she led the announcement of the first image of the black hole at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, and it is this groundbreaking work peering at the “Wonder and Awe” of the cosmos that she’ll discuss for the Chautauqua Lecture Series.
