The postdoctoral researcher at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics created an algorithm that assembled the one-of-a-kind picture.
By Lindsey Bever Lindsey Bever General assignment reporter covering national and breaking news Email Bio Follow April 11 at 9:36 AM First came the breathtaking image, the first one to ever show a black hole, in a galaxy about 55 million light-years from Earth.
Bouman started working on an algorithm as a graduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, studying electrical engineering and computer science. She was one of about three dozen computer scientists who used algorithms to process data gathered by the Event Horizon Telescope project, a worldwide collaboration of astronomers, engineers and mathematicians.
“I am inspired by Katie Bouman,” Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, the executive director of U.N. Women, wrote on Twitter.🎉Huge congrats to Katie Bouman, who made it possible! 👏 — Flora Graham April 10, 2019 Y'all, I love that Dr. Katie Bouman is trending.
