Ryan Troy Urquhart

My research focuses on accreting compact objects. I primarily use X-ray and radio observations to study black holes and neutron stars in globular clusters in addition to low-mass central black holes in dwarf galaxies. I earned my PhD in 2019 from the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR), Curtin University, where I was studying rapidly-accreting compact objects known as ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs).
