Hi there! My name is León Sosapanta and will arrive at the University of Amsterdam in September this year to join Sera Markoff’s group as a Ph.D. student. My research will focus on theoretical modeling of black hole accretion, particularly using numerical/computational techniques in the code H-AMR, to better understand the physics implemented within these simulations of black holes, starting by including new processes that allow the separate treatment of hadrons and leptons, and the effects of hadron acceleration. This work will allow the same models used to interpret Event Horizon Telescope sources to also be compared with multi-wavelength and multi-messenger data including very-high-energy gamma-rays and neutrinos. All my college…
