About
Neil Nagar is Professor and investigator at the Astronomy Department of the University of Concepcion, Chile. His primary research interests are supermassive black holes, galaxy evolution, and the origin of ultra high energy cosmic rays. Nagar is member of the Event Horizon Telescope collaboration, and Director of the TITANs Millennium Nucleus (about 40 professors and early career researchers spread across four Chilean universities).
