Dr. Deanne Coppejans

Biography

Deanne Coppejans is an Associate Professor in the Astronomy Astrophysics group at the University of Warwick's Department of Physics. Her research focuses on using multi-wavelength observations to explore accretion physics, high-energy physics, and astronomical outflows including jets and winds from stellar explosions in extreme environments. She is particularly interested in the physics behind collimated jets, the driving mechanisms of supernovae, and the nature of newly discovered classes such as white dwarf pulsars and long-period radio transients. Coppejans' research spans explosive events and the interaction of compact objects like black holes, neutron stars, and white dwarfs. She emphasizes the significance of radio observations in understanding the physical mechanisms at play in these astronomical events, which have been facilitated by advancements in modern telescopes and algorithms.
