1.) Who do you plan to interview? Why?
For my first interview, I plan on interviewing Dr. Bela Szilagyi who mentored me in the summer at Caltech. Dr. Szilagyi is one of the foremost authorities on black hole simulations and is actively involved in creating the code and algorithm to do so. I am interviewing him because not only will he provide invaluable information, but also will have good connections with other scientists (who I could interview later).
2.) You have to ask 5 questions. What additional questions do you plan to ask?
I will first ask the following required questions:

I will first ask the following required questions:
- I’m interested in studying astrophysics. What can you tell me about it?
- From your perspective, what could I study that would be significant?
- Who else would you recommend I talk to?
- What kinds of places or activities do you recommend I do for the mentorship component?
- What books should I read in this field?
- What first drew you to astrophysics?
- Why is it important that we study astrophysics and the universe in general?
- Why did you specialize in black hole simulations?
