Hey! I'm Olga, a PhD student in Astronomy at Harvard University
My research interests lie in galaxy evolution. I run hydrodynamical simulations to study the interaction between active galactic nuclei (AGN) jet and interstellar medium (ISM).

ABOUT ME
Olga, Olya, Olishna, Olechka, Olen'ka, Os'ka, Ol'ka, Lola, Ol, O
I started my undergraduate studies at the Ural Federal University in Ekaterinburg (Russia), subsequently transferring to the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, where I earned my Bachelor's and Master's Degrees. After I moved to Moscow I started doing my research at the Institute of Astronomy, the Russian Academy of Sciences. I studied unresolved binary stars in open clusters utilizing Gaia data and open clusters' survivability using N-body simulations.
During the summer of 2021, I had an internship at Max Planck Insititute for Astronomy (MPIA) working with the PHANGS collaboration. I was testing the Tremaine-Weinberg method to measure galactic pattern speeds using hydrodynamic simulations. Subsequently, I returned to MPIA as a visiting student for six more months in 2022.
In 2022 I started my Ph.D. at Harvard University (Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian). Working with Prof. Lars Hernquist, my research centers on the role of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) feedback in the quenching of galaxies. I am studying how low-power AGN jets propagate through turbulent media using hydrodynamic simulations.
