Priyamvada Natarajan is a theoretical astrophysicist with a focus on cosmology, gravitational lensing, and black hole physics. Her research encompasses a range of topics including the substructure of cosmological models, the evolution and assembly of galaxy clusters, and the cosmological constraints of lens statistics. Natarajan is particularly interested in exploring the mechanisms of dark matter and the nature of dark energy through strong lensing techniques. Her current projects involve studying black hole seed formation at high redshifts, the mass assembly history of black holes, and the alignment of black hole spins. Furthermore, she examines accretion physics and the effects of feedback processes from active galactic nuclei and supernovae. Natarajan's work not only contributes to the field of astrophysics but also touches upon the epistemological and philosophical aspects of science and cosmology.
