Dr. Lindsey Kwok studies the characteristics and evolution of type Ia supernovae (exploding white dwarfs) using spectroscopy from both ground- and space-based telescopes. She has a particular interest in utilizing JWST to discover and understand the infrared behavior of these supernovae. Lindsey leads several JWST programs targeting both normal and peculiar white-dwarf supernovae to link unique infrared signatures to their astrophysical origins (progenitor systems and explosion mechanisms) and test models across a wide wavelength range.
