Rate My Professor Arash Bahramian

Bahramian's research focuses on observational astronomy spanning radio, infrared, optical, and X-ray regimes to investigate the population and behaviour of stellar-mass black holes and neutron stars within our Galaxy. His work emphasizes low-mass X-ray binaries in globular clusters, alongside developments in statistical methods for analyzing heteroskedastic time-series data, handling censoring, and applying Bayesian physical-statistical modeling in astronomical contexts. He also advances data science applications, including data-intensive analysis, declarative visualization, and scientific information design. Key publications include 'Stellar Encounter Rate in Galactic Globular Clusters' (Bahramian et al., 2013, ApJ), 'The ultracompact nature of the black hole candidate X-ray binary 47 Tuc X9' (Bahramian et al., 2017, MNRAS), 'A Transitional Millisecond Pulsar Candidate in Terzan 5' (Bahramian et al., 2018, ApJ), 'Chandra/ACIS Catalog of Faint X-Ray Sources in 38 Globular Clusters' (Bahramian et al., 2020, ApJ), and a co-authored study revealing a 21 solar mass black hole in Cygnus X-1 (Miller-Jones et al., 2021, Science). Bahramian supervises PhD students, such as Tyrone Niam O'Doherty, and has secured Australian Research Council Discovery Project funding. He has delivered research colloquia, including at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County in 2023.
