We are pleased that Prof. Lars Bildsten will be speaking at our event in February! Prof. Bildsten is the Director of the Kavli Insitute for Theoretical Physics at UCSB. In January, he was awarded the Dannie Heineman Prize for Astrophysics, awarded jointly by the American Institute of Physics and the American Astronomical Society. Bildsten has been recognized “for his leadership and observationally grounded theoretical modeling that has yielded fundamental insights into the physics of stellar structure and evolution, compact objects and stellar explosions.”
