Led the Algorithm That Captured the First Black Hole Image
Biography
Katherine Louise Bouman is a computer scientist and electrical engineer who led the development of a computational imaging algorithm that made it possible to capture the first-ever image of a black hole. As part of the Event Horizon Telescope project, she developed the CHIRP algorithm (Continuous High-resolution Image Reconstruction using Patch priors) to combine data from radio telescopes around the world. The resulting image of the black hole at the center of galaxy M87, released on April 10, 2019, was hailed as a landmark achievement. She is currently an assistant professor at Caltech.
凯瑟琳·路易斯·鲍曼是一位计算机科学家和电气工程师，她领导开发了使捕捉首张黑洞图像成为可能的计算成像算法。作为事件视界望远镜项目的一部分，她开发了CHIRP算法，将来自世界各地射电望远镜的数据组合在一起。2019年4月10日发布的M87星系中心黑洞图像被誉为里程碑式的成就。她目前是加州理工学院的助理教授。
