Updates from the APS Office of Education and Diversity
Dr. Jedidah Isler studies the physics of particle jets emanating from supermassive black holes at the centers of massive galaxies called blazars. Dr. Isler’s current research uses simultaneous infrared, optical, and gamma-ray observations to better understand the physics of these blazar jets by constraining the time-resolved spectral variability. She received her B.S. in physics from Norfolk State University, her M.A. in physics from Fisk University, M.S. in physics and Ph.D. in astronomy from Yale University. She is also the founder of #VanguardSTEM and host of the monthly web series “Vanguard: Conversations with Women of Color in STEM.”
