Iti Linial

Dr. Iti Linial is a theoretical astrophysicist from Israel who has recently been awarded a prestigious research fellowship by NASA as part of the Edwin Hubble Fellowship program. Currently engaged in postdoctoral research at Columbia University and the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, Linial's studies focus on high-energy cosmic events, such as the disruption of stars by black holes. His recent research proposal that earned him the fellowship examines Quasi-Periodic Eruptions (QPEs), bright X-ray outbursts associated with black holes, seeking to understand the underlying processes of these phenomena.
