Andrew Gould

Andrew Gould's work focuses on gravitational microlensing, a technique that detects planets and dark objects like black holes by observing how their gravity bends and magnifies light from distant background stars. His research includes discovering free-floating planets not bound to any star, measuring masses of isolated black holes, and refining statistical and observational methods used in these detections. Note that the publication list also contains several unrelated biomedical papers on brain tumor treatment, which appear to be a data mismatch rather than part of this PI's actual research output.

Publication output has grown substantially over the past decade, rising from around 18 per year in 2017 to a peak of 79 in 2023, with continued high activity (averaging about 38 per year over the last five years).
