Veome Kapil successfully defended his Ph.D. thesis “Turning the Tide on Binary Population Synthesis for Next-generation Gravitational Wave Astronomy” on Monday, May 18. He will soon start a fancy job at Meta.
From Veome's thesis defense: Raphael's School of Athens reimagined.From Veome's thesis defense: he seemed to appreciate one particular aspect of the many conferences he attended in Italy...Toasts for Veome's graduation. Left to right: me, Simon Maenaut (visiting from the Niels Bohr Institute), Rajes Ghosh, Miguel Pinto, Giada Caneva Santoro (visiting from the Niels Bohr Institute), Luca Reali, Francesco Iacovelli, Veome Kapil.Neha Anil Kumar (Marc Kamionkowski's student, who also worked on gravitational waves) graduated on May 19, so we took a group photo all together. Left to right: Nick Speeney, Keyer Thyme, Mesut Caliskan, Francesco Iacovelli, David Pereniguez-Rodriguez, Veome Kapil, Rajes Ghosh, me, Jaime Redondo-Yuste, Neha Anil Kumar, Luca Reali, Miguel Pinto, Marc Kamionkowski, Kostas Kritos, Laura Herold.A tradition of the deparment is to announce thesis defenses with some goofy poster. I was very happy with the poster's "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom" theme. "It's dangerous to go alone, Veome! Take this." (If you are not a video game nerd, you may not get this. Sorry.)
