UCC Physicist Dr Michael Tremmel Presents at International AGN Conference in Germany
Dr Michael Tremmel, Lecturer in Theoretical Astrophysics in the School of Physics at University College Cork (UCC), recently represented UCC at The Multiscale Environment of AGN Across Cosmic Time conference, held from 23–28 November 2025 at Schloss Ringberg, Bavaria, Germany.
The conference brought together leading astrophysicists from around the world to explore the latest progress in understanding active galactic nuclei (AGN), supermassive black holes, and the environments that shape their growth across cosmic time.
Dr Tremmel delivered a talk titled “Massive Black Hole Growth in the Early Universe,” presenting his research on how supermassive black holes formed and evolved during the first billion years after the Big Bang. His work uses advanced cosmological simulations to uncover the physical processes driving rapid black hole growth in the early Universe.
Dr Tremmel’s participation highlights UCC’s strong presence in global astrophysics research and its ongoing contributions to advancing our understanding of galaxy and black hole evolution.
