Prof. Leah K. Morabito
I am an astronomer using radio telescopes to answer fundamental questions on how super-massive black holes co-evolve with the galaxies in which they reside. My speciality is high-resolution imaging at low frequencies, using a Square Kilometre Array pathfinder telescope, the LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR). I lead the LOFAR Imaging of Resolved AGN (LIRA) group, which focuses on using unique high-resolution, low-frequency observations to advance our understanding on how AGN help shape galaxy evolution. I hold a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship to carry out a high-resolution low-frequency radio survey using LOFAR, and am co-PI of a new LOFAR2.0 Large Programme which will extend this wrok. I am a Professor at the Centre for Extragalactic Astronomy and the Institute for Computational Cosmology at Durham University. Outside of work, I am an avid reader, I love to sew, and you can often find me in the countryside walking my dogs!
