Shina Adegoke

Shina Adegoke is a Research Fellow in the Division of Physics, Mathematics and Astronomy at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). His primary affiliation is with the Physics department. He holds the position of Postdoctoral Scholar Research Associate, focusing on astrophysical research involving black hole binaries and accretion processes. His work utilizes advanced observational facilities like NuSTAR, NICER, and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).

Research Interests: Dr. Adegoke's research centers on high-energy astrophysics phenomena, particularly the dynamics of accretion flows around black holes, X-ray spectral analysis, and multiwavelength observations of compact objects. His studies explore black hole binaries, accretion disk instabilities, and the interplay between accretion and jet emission. Key areas include the observational signatures of accretion states, spectral variability, and polarization studies in extreme environments.

Publications: His recent work includes studies on the 2021 GX 339-4 outburst observed with NuSTAR/NICER, mid-infrared timing with JWST, and reflection spectra analysis of MAXI J1803-298. These contributions highlight his expertise in combining multi-messenger data to unravel accretion physics.

Lab/Teams: While specific lab affiliations are not explicitly stated, his research engages with Caltech's observational facilities like Palomar Observatory and collaboration with groups at LIGO and IPAC.
