About Me:
I am a 4th year graduate student in the Astronomy at the University of California, Santa Cruz. I'm interested in the post-bounce evolution of type-II supernovae.
I'm currently using the FLASH code to model
the Rayleigh-Taylor instability that mixes the stellar layers as the
explosive shock propagates through the star. This instability determines
the nucleosynthetic yields and influences the observation signatures of
type-II supernovae.
