Krisztina Éva Szentirmayné Gabányi

assistant professor

PhD (Rheinischen Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn, Germany, 2006)

Biography:

Krisztina Gabányi has been working as an assistant professor at the Department of Astronomy, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Eötvös Loránd University of Sciences (ELTE TTK) since December 2019. She is a member of the HUN-REN-ELTE Extragalactic Astrophysics Research Group and collaborates with the extragalactic research group of the Konkoly-Thege Miklós Astronomical Institute at the HUN-REN Centre for Astronomy and Earth Sciences.

She obtained her master's degree in physics and astronomy at ELTE TTK in 2003. She conducted her PhD studies at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Bonn, Germany, obtaining her PhD degree in 2006. In 2007, she was awarded a one-year fellowship by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science to participate in the preparatory work of the second-generation Japanese space VLBI satellite (ASTRO-G) at the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science, at the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, under the leadership of Professor Yasuhiro Murata. She was deputy member of the management committee of the COST action, "Black holes in a violent Universe" between 2010 and 2014. In 2013, she won the Magyary Zoltán postdoctoral fellowship for 16 months. During that time, she worked at the University of Szeged with Professor László Árpád Gergely on dual supermassive black holes. In 2017 she was awarded the János Bolyai Research Fellowship of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences for three years. Her scientific work on radio-emitting active galactic nuclei (AGN) has been evaluated as excellent. Between 2019 and 2023, she served as an at-large member of the programme committee of the European Very Long Baseline Interferometer Network (EVN).

Her main research interests include the study of AGN in the radio domain using interferometric techniques, the observability of dual supermassive black holes and dual active galactic nuclei, and radio-emitting AGN at high redshifts.
