Jenny Greene (born October 9, 1978) is an Astrophysicist and Professor at Princeton University.^[1] She is notable for her work on supermassive black holes and the galaxies in which they reside.

Early life and education[]

In 2000, Greene received a B.S in astronomy and physics (summa cum laude) from Yale University. She then attended Harvard for her Ph.D in Astronomy, her thesis entitled The Growth of Black Holes: From Primordial Seeds to Local Demographics.^[2]

Career[]

After her post-doctoral fellowship at Princeton, she became an Assistant Professor of Astronomy at UT Austin for a year. Since 2011, she has been an Assistant Professor of Astrophysical Sciences at Princeton.

Her broad research interests include measurements of black hole masses, the connection between supermassive black holes and galaxies, stellar and gas kinematics of galactic nuclei, and diffuse light in galaxy clusters.^[3]
