FOCUS: GGC professor among those contributing to “Black Holes”

By Sally Ramey | Black holes are the subject of much fascination, not just in science but also in popular media. For example, the 2014 movie Interstellar portrays a fast-rotating, supermassive black hole, into which the protagonist falls in order to probe its center.

Such a scenario may be more than the stuff of Hollywood magic, according to a research team led by Dr. Lior Burko, associate professor of physics at Georgia Gwinnett College, and including Gaurav Khanna, associate professor of physics at UMass Dartmouth, and Anil Zenginoǧlu, science coordinator at the Center for Scientific Computation and Mathematical Modeling at the University of Maryland.
