Rate My Professor Manda Banerji-Wright

Professor Banerji-Wright's research specializations encompass galaxy formation and evolution, active galaxies and supermassive black holes, and wide-field imaging and spectroscopic surveys. She utilizes multi-wavelength observational data from large ground-based telescopes to investigate the co-evolution of galaxies and their central supermassive black holes, particularly through studies of quasars, AGN outflows, and obscured systems at high redshifts. Notable publications include 'A disc wind model for blueshifts in quasar broad emission lines' (2023, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society), 'No redshift evolution in the rest-frame UV emission line properties of quasars from z=1.5 to z=4.0' (2023), 'Multiwavelength observations of the extraordinary accretion event AT2021lwx' (2023), 'A big red dot: scattered light, host galaxy signatures and multi-phase gas flows in a luminous, heavily reddened quasar at cosmic noon' (2024), 'AGNfitter-rx: modelling the radio-to-X-ray spectral energy distributions of AGNs' (2024), and 'Evidence for universal gas depletion in a sample of 41 luminous Type 1 quasars at z ∼ 2' (2025). Her contributions extend to projects involving Rubin Observatory and Euclid data products, enhancing understanding of quasar-galaxy connections and black hole feedback processes.
