Quasars can Signpost Supermassive Black Hole Binaries

🚀 Using Quasars to Uncover Black Hole Pairs 🌌

As the lead on this project, I explored how quasars—exceptionally bright objects powered by black holes—can help identify pairs of merging supermassive black holes. By integrating data from gravitational waves, quasar activity patterns, and galaxy observations, I developed a framework to estimate how often quasars host these black hole pairs.

Key Outcomes:

• Found that quasars are up to seven times more likely than other galaxies to host black hole pairs, highlighting them as priority targets for future studies.
• Improved regression analysis efficiency by 300x, enabling faster and more scalable data analysis.

Why It Matters for Industry: This project demonstrates my ability to combine diverse datasets, optimize computational performance, and uncover insights in complex systems—skills directly relevant to data science, machine learning, and analytics roles.
