Halley named a prestigious 2025 Ruby Fellowship Scholar

Abyss Halley

Congratulations to Abyss Halley, a first year doctoral student in the Center for Gravitational Waves and Cosmology and the WVU Department of Physics and Astronomy, for being named a 2025 Ruby Fellowship Scholar!

Her research journey began through the Pulsar Science Collaboratory, where she studied bright pulses from the Crab pulsar, a neutron star. At WVU, she worked with Duncan Lorimer to analyze millisecond pulsar data in globular clusters and presented findings at several conferences, including at the Green Bank Observatory. In 2024, Halley collaborated with Emmanuel Fonseca to study how a coronal mass ejection affected pulsar timing and presented this work at the 2025 International Pulsar Timing Array meeting at California Institute of Technology.
