Eddie Baron

Professional History

I was trained in the nuclear theory group of Gerry Brown at Stony Brook, where I worked on the Equation of State of Hot Dense Matter, The Core-collapse mechanism, and neutrino transport. I switched gears for my first postdoc at Steward Observatory, working on problems of the nature of the first galaxies and heat conduction in Lyman alpha clouds. My second postdoc took me back to Stony Brook, where I worked on the core collapse mechanism, the nature of neutron stars and some other nuclear physics topics. I then spent 33 years on the faculty of the University of Oklahoma, where I switched to working on photon transport and supernova phenomenology, along with studies of stellar and planetary systems and a few forays into AGN physics. These days I'm interested on full wavelength (UV-MIR) observations of all types of supernovae, machine learning techniques on statistical samples of supernovae; and the formation of molecules and dust in supernova and stellar spectra.
