DESCRIPTION:Black holes were once thought to be unobservable. In 2019\, the
  Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) changed that by producing the first horizon
 -scale image of M87*. That breakthrough was not only an achievement in ast
 ronomy\, but also in scientific computing: every step\, from building a pl
 anet-sized telescope to reconstructing the final image\, depended on exten
 sive computation. In this talk\, I will show how Julia is helping push bla
 ck hole imaging into its next era. Its combination of speed\, flexibility\
 , and composability has made it a core part of the EHT software stack\, po
 wering modern workflows for imaging\, modeling\, and uncertainty quantific
 ation. Julia is also helping define the future of black hole astronomy. Th
 e Black Hole Explorer (BHEX)\, a NASA space mission concept\, aims to prod
 uce the highest-resolution images of black holes ever made\, resolving reg
 ions of spacetime where light can orbit the black hole itself. In the fina
 l part of the talk\, I will highlight how Julia will form the foundation o
 f the BHEX analysis pipeline and demonstrate its potential as the primary 
 software platform for a next-generation scientific instrument.
