Ori Fox, Post-Doc

 

I am currently a postdoc working with Alex Filippenko and his group.  My research includes supernovae and their progenitors, as well as other transient events.  I also work on instrumentation, with a focus on infrared sensors and technologies

Research Interests

-Infrared Detectors & Instrumentation

-Supernovae (Type IIn) and Dust

-Supernovae Progenitors

-GRB characterization and explosion mechanism

-GRBs as probes of reionization

-Instrumentation; RATIR

-UPDATE: Check out the video to the right!
