Areas of Interest: supernovae and other transients, electromagnetic follow-up of gravitational waves, machine learning and statistical methods

Griffin joined Steward Observatory in fall of 2021 to work with Prof. Dave Sand. His research attempts to link the zoo of explosions we observe in the night sky to the stars that produce them, in order to understand the last years to months of a star's life. He is also interested in what we can learn from optical observations of gravitational wave sources. He previously worked at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian, after graduating from the UC Santa Barbara with a Ph.D. in astrophysics in 2018.
