Black holes, gravitational waves, FNN | 1001: Intro to Everything podcast #14 with Imre Bartos

Dr. Imre Bartos received his PhD from Columbia University, where he
subsequently remained as a lecturer and then research scientist, before
joining the faculty at the University of Florida. His broad field of
interest is multi-messenger astrophysics. He primarily studies extreme
cosmic processes related to the formation and evolution of black holes.
Dr. Bartos is a member of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration and the LISA
Consortium and is an associate member of the IceCube Collaboration.

I apologize for Dr. Bartos' camera being low resolution. I normally have
a better camera but for this interview it had been broken. I will have
better quality for the next ones. Thank you for the patience.
