Career Trajectory
Bio
Alex Filippenko and his collaborators are determining the nature of the progenitor stars and the explosion mechanisms of different types of supernovae and gamma-ray bursts. He is also using supernovae as cosmological distance indicators, and he was a member of both teams that discovered (in 1998) the accelerating expansion of the Universe, probably driven by “dark energy” — a discovery that was honored with the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics to the teams’ leaders. He also works on quantifying the physical properties of quasars and active galaxies, and he searches for black holes in both X-ray binary stars and nearby galactic nuclei. His group has developed the 0.76-meter Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT), which has conducted one of the world’s most successful searches for relatively nearby supernovae, discovering more than 1000 of them. He is a frequent user of Lick Observatory, the 10-meter Keck telescopes, the Hubble Space Telescope, and the James Webb Space Telescope.
