Hello! My name is Kate Grier and I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I study supermassive black holes and quasars using a wide range of techniques and observing facilities. Currently, my research is focused on using variability in quasars to measure black hole masses as a part of the SDSS-V Black Hole Mapper Program.
