Geoffrey Mo is a Brinson Postdoctoral Fellow jointly appointed at the Carnegie Observatories and Caltech. He earned their Ph.D. at MIT’s Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research and the LIGO Laboratory, and holds a B.A. from Carleton College. His research focuses on the formation, evolution, and fate of compact binary systems, exploring how these objects can be studied through both light and gravitational waves. Mo led a Hubble ultraviolet time-domain survey of the globular cluster 47 Tuc to identify binaries in dense stellar environments and is developing Cerberus, a three-channel high-speed imager for the 200-inch Hale Telescope at Palomar Observatory, designed to deliver precise photometry for binary characterization.
