Meghana Killi

I am a former CATA postdoctoral researcher studying distant galaxies and black holes that lived when the Universe was only a billion years old. Position: Former CATA postdoctoral researcher at UDP Projects I use the ALMA-CRISTAL survey to understand the dust properties of typical galaxies at high-redshift. I also study the mysterious population of AGN-galaxy …
