Katie Bouman “Imaging a Black Hole with the Event Horizon Telescope”

Dr. Katie Bouman, who starts as assistant professor of computing and mathematical sciences at Caltech in June 2019, describes how the Event Horizon Telescope team captured the first-ever image of a black hole.

Best presentation I've seen on how the image of the black hole was actually generated and why the resulting image is trustworthy.

We can clearly see that her mind talks faster than her mouth
I have the same problem so i understand her i never did something great its all in the mind but guess its the laziness

Dr Bouman, you are a great teacher! I am far from a mathematician or a photographer but understood all of your concepts and explanations because your presentation was straightforword, given in plain language, and crystal clear.

THIS IS OUR FIRST GO AT THIS!!!! I can't wait till we prefect this over the next few years...Great Job!! You and your team are AMAZING and THANK YOU!!!

Even important projects use Python. I approve.

Her mind is moving at light speed. What an amazing person. Hope that she and the team are presented with the Nobel for this amazing accomplishment.

You guys are genius! If you guys need more VLBI telescope spots or quantum computing resources for better calculations, I’m more than happy to sponsor my bit 🙏

"dont know if you can see it on this projector" Makes me feel right at home

I read this on a book, now it is on youtube so exciting!

Please never stop working on what you clearly enjoy a lot, best of luck on your journey, keep us nubs updated

"Imposing", "Imply", "incorporating", "assuming"--these words reveal where the "math is fuzzy"--this is much room for error in the process Dr. Bouman described.

she is a really amazing character! her parent must be so proud

[ainmiky]

She's so humble, taking moments to emphasize the importance of her co-workers in developing the famous algorithm. Props to

[neildoherty]

Great to follow a project from beginning through to successful completion. Congrats to all.

Look forward to more radio telescopes being added in the future and more data points being available.

Hopefully this opens the door for more funding, more construction, and more exploring.

So exciting!

What a great lecture. Thank you for sharing your knowledge professor. You passion and love for this advancement in science is infectious. Congratulations on becoming a teacher at Caltech. It is so nice to see someone with a joyful glow about education and starting out on their journey. I wish you many years of joyful exploration and adventure.

This lecture is a great compliment to the papers just published. The talk is really well-organized with informative graphics and Dr Bouman's narrative really brings it to life. This also made me appreciate how hard and what an accomplishment the M87 images were. Thank you for posting.

Very interesting. Keep up the good work, Katie! Do not let the haters bring you down. They are not happy with their own lives.

Fantastic. The first interesting post-announcement video I've seen on this topic. Lots of content, no repetitive fluff.

This video provides more clarity to that of Kip Thorne's. We live in an unbelievable exciting time. Thanks
