Hello!
I am Ryan Nowicki (they/them), an astrophysics graduate student at Vanderbilt University currently studying black holes and gravitational waves.
Studying Black Holes
and Gravitational Waves
My research interests include black hole astrophysics and gravitational wave physics. I primarily study binary black hole mergers using numerical relativity, and the astrophysical nature of black holes using n-body simulations.
Poetry and
Short Fiction
Outside of my academic work, I am an avid writer of poetry and short science-fiction. As part of my undergraduate education, I completed an honors thesis in creative writing, and published a few poems with university affiliated journals.
