معرفی
Victoria Kaspi is a Professor of Physics at McGill University, affiliated with the Department of Physics and the McGill Space Institute. Her research focuses on observational studies of neutron stars, including pulsars and magnetars, using radio and X-ray telescopes. She leads projects involving the CHIME Telescope, the NANOGrav collaboration, and X-ray missions like Swift, NuSTAR, and Chandra. Her work includes searching for fast radio bursts (FRBs) and developing instrumentation for upcoming telescopes. Key affiliations include the McGill Pulsar Group and the McGill Astrophysics and Cosmology Group.
Research Interests: Her research spans neutron star astrophysics, pulsar timing, magnetar studies, and the detection of gravitational waves via radio transient observations. She pioneers efforts to understand FRBs, their environments, and connections to extreme astrophysical phenomena. Collaborations involve international teams and cutting-edge facilities like CHIME, Arecibo, and the Green Bank Telescope.
Grants & Teams: Kaspi's work is supported through major collaborations such as CHIME/FRB and NANOGrav. She leads the McGill Pulsar Group, which develops algorithms and instruments for transient detection. Her contributions have advanced our understanding of the neutron star 'zoo' and the interstellar medium's properties through FRB scintillation studies.
