Martin Obergaulinger obtained his PhD at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics (MPA) in Germany. After postdoctoral positions at MPA, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the University of Valencia in Spain, and the Technical University of Darmstadt in Germany, he was a Ramón y Cajal fellow at the University of Valencia, where he is now a professor titular. He studies numerical simulations of high-energy astrophysics, magnetohydrodynamics, and neutrino transport; massive stars; core-collapse supernovae; nucleosynthesis; and gravitational-wave astronomy.

How Neutrino Oscillations Affect Supernovae

By incorporating a detailed model of neutrino-flavor oscillations in simulations of collapsing stars, researchers have shown that the phenomenon can both promote and inhibit supernovae. Read More »
