Outline

 * What key points will be covered in your edits for this article?
 * Focused on expanding upon the career section. This article is a stub, and this is very evident in the lack of information about the specific research that has been done by Greene.
 * Also want to touch upon providing more information on the Prison Teaching Initiative at Princeton, of which Greene serves as the academic advisor. I think this program will fill a content gap in terms of what Greene is involved in outside of traditional academia.
 * What potential content gaps are present in the existing article?
 * The Prison Teaching Initiative is a clear content gap
 * I also seek to find the dates for this program and when Greene became involved
 * The exact research that Greene studies is also a content gap because there is not much explanation on her contribution to black holes.

Lead
Jenny Greene (born October 9, 1978) is an Astrophysicist and Professor of Astrophysical Sciences at Princeton University. She is notable for her work on supermassive black holes and the galaxies in which they reside. Her work also involves a partnership with the Princeton Gravity Initiative and as co-founder and academic advisor to the Prison Teaching Initiative (PTI) at Princeton University.

Academic Career
After her post-doctoral fellowship at Princeton, she became an Assistant Professor of Astronomy at UT Austin for a year. Since 2011, she has been a faculty member of the Astrophysical Sciences department at Princeton and is currently a professor of astrophysics.

Research

Her broad research interests include measurements of black hole masses, the connection between supermassive black holes and galaxies, stellar and gas kinematics of galactic nuclei, and diffuse light in galaxy clusters. A recent study from 2022, "The Nature of Low-surface-brightness Galaxies in the Hyper Suprime-Cam Survey" highlights Greene's research contributions in utilizing innovations in imaging technology for an intensive study in the ability to distinguish and identify low-surface-brightness galaxies.

Prison Teaching Initiative (PTI) at Princeton University

The PTI provides college-level education and other educational opportunities, such as research experiences for undergraduate students, to the incarcerated and formerly incarcerated in New Jersey correctional facilities. Greene has been involved in the effort and growth of the PTI as a post-doc fellow at Princeton since its founding in 2005 and as academic advisor of the program in 2017, when REUs through PTI began.
