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:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfGvPinTJUs
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.
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.
Gotta love misogyny
She has a great ted talk about this exact proj
