2014 - Research on blazars, supermassive black holes, to understand particle acceleration.

* Isler’s research focuses on understanding how Nature does particle acceleration by using blazars, supermassive black holes at the centers of massive galaxies that "spin up" jets of particles * Observations of the electromagnetic spectrum: from radio, optical and all the way through to gamma-rays * Using these observations, she can piece together how and why these black holes are able to create such efficient particle accelerators.
