Astronomy SWIFT LSST Black Holes Gravitational Waves Multimessenger Astrophysics Dynamic Universe IGC

Currently working with Dr. Abe Falcone and Dr. Steve DiKerby on Fermi 4FGL-DR4 Unassociated Sources with Fermi-LAT, Swift-XRT, and Swift-UVOT observations for use in source classification. These skills will be used to study high-energy transients in X-rays. This will likely encompass transients seen by both Rubin LSST and BlackCAT when both become operational.

About our wordmark
Monica Rincon Ramirez

The IGC wordmark was created by Monica Rincon Ramirez while she was a graduate student at the Institute. Monica enjoys drawing new connections between fundamental theory and observations. Her graduate work included general relativity, loop quantum gravity, and quantum fields in cosmological backgrounds; her thesis focused on effective quantum corrections to gravitational phenomena from spinfoams and applications to cosmology. She received her PhD in 2024.

The wordmark symbolizes the scope of research at the IGC. The base represents quantum gravity, evoking the quantum geometrical picture from spinfoams and loop quantum gravity — approaches studied at the Center for Fundamental Theory. The middle shows galaxies embedded in a smooth surface characteristic of spacetime in general relativity and the larger physical scales studied at the Center for Theoretical and Observational Cosmology. The top curves to an extreme representing a supermassive black hole accompanied by an energetic jet, with a binary black hole pair nearby — the high-energy phenomena studied at the Center for Multimessenger Astrophysics.
