Core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) theories have been long developed to link the observed SNe to their physical properties. Despite past endeavors, CCSN research is still an active field owing to data coming from wide-field surveys and advancements in the computational power that …

There is extensive evidence that 85% of the matter density in the Universe consists of “dark matter”. This evidence comes entirely from dark matter’s gravitational interactions with ordinary matter. Among the most important topics in particle physics today is to determine the pa…

Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) remain one of the best astronomical tools available for measuring large distances. Observations of SNe Ia were instrumental in the discovery of the accelerating expansion of the universe, and will be key to understanding the nature of the "dark energy…

Supernovae (SNe) play an important role for the chemical enrichment of the interstellar medium of their host galaxies, and the creation of neutron stars and stellar-mass black holes. Using multi-wavelength ground- and space-based observations, I have investigated the chemical co…
