Dylan Jow

Dylan is a Kavli Fellow at the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology at Stanford. He completed his PhD at the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics. Dylan is a theorist with strong observational interests. He studies a range of topics in radio astronomy, from FRB emission and propagation, pulsar scintillation and scattering, VLBI, and pulsar timing arrays. He is interested in developing new ways of leveraging observational data to constrain the physics of high energy phenomena. In particular, he is interested in coherent phenomena (such as gravitational wave emission from black hole binaries, and coherent radio emission from FRBs and pulsars) and how this coherence can be leveraged observationally. For example, multi-path propagation of coherent radio sources through the interstellar medium may potentially be used as an effective astrophysical-scale interferometer to resolve the emission region of those sources. He is also interested in bottom-up approaches to interpreting the radio emission of AGN and SMBHs such as M87 and probing unambiguous signatures of emission physics.
