DESCRIPTION:With Daryl Haggard\, Associate Professor of Physics in the McGi
 ll Space Institute\n\nDr. Haggard's ºÚÁÏÍø Extreme Gravity and Accretion g
 roup investigates the most extreme endpoints for matter in the Universe\, 
 black holes and neutron stars\, employing cutting-edge observational tests
  of Einstein's theory of general relativity and of plasma and accretion ph
 ysics and pushing these black hole frontiers. Dr. Haggard will offer a bri
 ef\, fun overview of her group's black hole studies and describe what futu
 re black hole studies may look like.\n\nDaryl Haggard is an Associate Prof
 essor of Physics at ºÚÁÏÍø and the ºÚÁÏÍø Space Institute. Her 
 research focuses on black holes and neutron stars and leads multi-waveleng
 th and time-domain studies regarding supermassive black holes and their ex
 pansion. In 2019\, through the Event Horizon Telescope collaboration her t
 eam was able to report an image of a black hole’s shadow in 2019\; she was
  honoured by La Presse for this discovery as Personalité de la semaine. Pr
 ofessor Haggard also co-led the identification of the first X-Ray counterp
 art of the first neutron star merger of GW170817\; this earned her team a 
 Top 10 Discovery of 2018 award by Québec Science and was Science Magazine’
 s 2017 Breakthrough of the Year. She has been honoured in her contribution
 s to science with a CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholars Award in the Gravity and
  the Extreme Universe Program as well as a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in
  Multi-Messenger Astrophysics. In 2020\, her Event Horizon Telescope team 
 received the 2020 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics.\n\nWatch the
