This is her youtube channel. If you haven't read the paper on this algorithm, I think you can get a good intuitive understanding by watching the two videos she has on there from (what looks like) her thesis, and I think it becomes clear why she was selected to lead this project.

Specifically, these two videos:

and

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NhQ7WkbHms

So, consider that these two videos are basically the "one-dimensional" solution, or one pin-hole camera example. In the approach that her and her team to image the black hole, they used many, many radio antennas', all acting in concert in a not-too different version of what she did her for the work on her YT channel.

too bad - that you leached on your senior collaborators who did ALL and every intellectual part of the project - all for your credit; you are what I call an instagram scientist - too bad for science that such people who do any third-rate cheating act for publicity - like Katie Bouman exists @JosephDT

Seems like somebody is unhappy with her being chosen

At the same time the media kinda picked her out as the face of this project when there were many other people involved. I think she even said as much.

Yeah and IIRC the dude the Internet misogynists decided was responsible for most of the code said ‘Shut up everyone I did some leg work, but she did the heavy lifting.’ Plus he’s queer or something else which would have had those fuckers in shambles had they known.
