Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden

Dr. Blondin is internationally recognized for his seminal contributions to the physics of stellar explosions and their use in cosmology. He demonstrated how cosmic time dilation, a prediction of General Relativity, works in the evolution of very distant supernovae. Dr. Blondin also provides deep insight into stellar thermonuclear explosions and how light emerges from these cosmic cauldrons. In Germany, he contributes to a project to measure the cosmic expansion rate with supernovae
