Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMagdalena Siwek is a PhD candidate at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian with eight years of experience modeling gravitational waves and accretion flows around supermassive black hole binaries using numerical and hydrodynamic simulations. She combines rigorous theoretical astrophysics training from Glasgow and Harvard with hands-on computational research, developing simulation codes and interpreting multi-physics outputs to connect theory with observable signatures. Her background includes research appointments at NYU, ESA, and international visiting scholarships, reflecting a collaborative, global approach to big-data astrophysics problems. Based in Greater Boston, she brings both deep domain expertise and practical data-analytic experience from industry roles, enabling her to translate complex simulations into testable predictions for gravitational-wave astronomy.
