A 34-year-old astronomer who works part of the year at the University of Hawaii-Manoa has been named as one of Popular Science’s “Brilliant 10” young researchers.
Amy Barger, who studies black holes and other phenomena with data from telescopes in space and on Mauna Kea, was named as one of “the most dynamic, promising young researchers at institutions around North America.”
Barger divides her time now between the University of Wisconsin-Madison and UH-Manoa, where she works from January through the summer.
