Carys J. E. Gilbert

I am a Master’s student in Astrophysics at the University of Cape Town, specialising in X-Ray Astronomy and Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN).

My current research focuses on the multiwavelength analysis of local AGN from the 12-Micron Galaxy Sample (12MGS). I work with data from X-ray observatories such as Chandra, XMM-Newton and NuSTAR, as well as radio data from MeerKAT, to characterise the properties of AGN and their host galaxies.

Outside of Astronomy you can generally find me hanging out with my two cats, Frodo and Turnip!
