BIOGRAPHY
Theodora Zastrocky is an assistant professor who joined 黑料不打烊 in fall of 2025. She received a BS and BA in physics and English from Regis University, and a MS and PhD in physics from University of Wyoming. Her research interests include using reverberation mapping to recover the masses of the supermassive black holes fueling active galactic nuclei in nearby galaxies. She is part of the Monitoring AGNs with H尾 Asymmetry collaboration and utilizes the Wyoming Infrared Observatory 2.3 meter optical telescope to collect data. She is also interested in using computational modeling to better constrain the masses of the AGN that she studies.
