Abstract: Reverberation mapping, or "echo" mapping, of nearby (z<0.1) active galaxies has provided direct constraints on the mass of the central supermassive black hole in about 50 galaxies. Furthermore, the size of the region of photoionized gas from which the broad emission lines emanate has been found to scale with the luminosity of the central source. This radius-luminosity relationship is heavily used to estimate black hole masses in quasars at cosmological distances, and is foundational for our understanding of the interplay between black hole and galaxy growth and evolution. I will present an overview of the state of the field and discuss current and future work aimed at minimizing the uncertainties in black hole mass determinations. Speaker Bio: I grew up in Spokane, WA and earned a dual degree (BS+BS) in physics and astronomy at University of Washington in Seattle. I then attended The Ohio State University and worked on my dissertation with Brad Peterson. After earning my PhD in 2007, I worked with Aaron Barth at UC Irvine for two years before being awarded a Hubble Fellowship in 2009 and then accepting a tenure-track faculty position at Georgia State University in 2010. Earlier this year, I was awarded an NSF CAREER grant, and I'm a current member of the NASA Astrophysics Roadmap Committee.
