Noah Barton is a ScM student in Physics at Brown University. Noah’s previous work involved exploring notions of quasi-local entropy based on results from quantum fields in curved spacetimes and studying static, spherically symmetric solutions to Riegert’s non local action in the Schwarzschild background. His current projects include building end-to-end theory and simulators to quantify how a black-hole video tightens posteriors on mass and spin—via variability of the photon ring, hotspot dynamics, and closure-phase statistics. Noah also mentors undergraduate students as a teaching assistant. Core skills include Python/LaTeX/Mathematica.
