Kyle Kremer is an assistant professor in the Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics at the University of California, San Diego. His research group is focused on Stellar Dynamics and Compact Objects, and he has expertise in N-body simulations, dense stellar clusters, and the detection of compact object binaries through gravitational waves, particularly using the LIGO and LISA projects. Kyle's research also explores high-energy transient phenomena such as tidal disruption events and fast radio bursts. He has a broad interest in topics including binary star evolution, hydrodynamics of stellar mergers, millisecond pulsars, intermediate-mass black holes, and the observational search for black hole binaries. Kremer completed his PhD in Astronomy in 2019 at Northwestern University, where he double majored in physics and music performance during his undergraduate studies. He previously participated in orchestral music before committing fully to astronomy and has held postdoctoral fellowships at Caltech and Carnegie Observatories.
