ABOUT ME
Alexander Holas
I’m a PhD student at Heidelberg University, currently working at the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies under the supervision of Friedrich Röpke in the Physics of Stellar Objects Group. My research interests are numerical simulations of Type Ia Supernovae, radiative transfer and cosmology using Type IIP Supernovae. Currently I’m investigating the phenomenon of Thermonuclear Electron-Capture Supernovea.
I also enjoy creating visualizations of my simulations, making them available to a broader audience. You can find some of my latest visualizations here:
