  This is her youtube channel. If you haven’t read the paper on this algorithm, I think you can get a good intuitive understanding by watching the two videos she has on there from (what looks like) her thesis, and I think it becomes clear why she was selected.

  Specifically, these two videos:

  www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfGvPinTJUs

  and

  www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NhQ7WkbHms

  So, consider that these two videos are basically the “one-dimensional” solution, or one pin-hole camera example. In the approach that her and her team to image the black hole, they used many, many radio antennas’, all acting in concert in a not-too different version of what she did her for the work on her YT channel.

    too bad - that you leached on your senior collaborators who did ALL and every intellectual part of the project - all for your credit; you are what I call an instagram scientist - too bad for science that such people who do any third-rate cheating act for publicity - like Katie Bouman exists

    Seems like somebody is unhappy with her being chosen

      At the same time the media kinda picked her out as the face of this project when there were many other people involved. I think she even said as much.

    This is a science community, we work on the Dawkins definition of meme.

      The vast majority of posts on this community are internet memes that don’t fit that definition.

  Dude in the back is looking at the result with the same intensity as a teenager seeing boobs for the first time.

  Photographers worldwide have accepted the challenge. They will bring assistants to pull and tape the hands off the face. They will make her look at an eagle or birdie far off in the distance as one does. Don’t worry, this lady will be ready for her one page in highschool books.
