Deanne Coppejans was interested in the extreme physics in the explosions of stars; the accretion of material onto black holes, neutron stars and white dwarfs; and new kinds of high energy events that astronomers are continuing to discover. She used multi-wavelength observations from telescopes across the globe, as well as in space, to investigate the physics of these objects in environments that cannot be reproduced in a laboratory.
Dr. Coppejans was a CIERA postdoc from 2016 – 2021. She is now an Assistant Professor in the Astronomy and Astrophysics Group of the Physics Department at the University of Warwick.
