Research

Despite the broad use of Type Ia Supernovae to measure distances on cosmological scales, there is still uncertainty about the progenitor systems and explosion mechanisms that lead to these spectacularly luminous events. My research addresses these open questions by modeling young Type Ia supernova remnants and comparing the models to observed x-ray spectra.
