Prof. Brian Metzger

Professor Brian Metzger is a physicist and astrophysicist specializing in the study of extreme cosmic phenomena, such as neutron stars, black holes, and explosive events like gamma-ray bursts. His research investigates how these energetic processes occur, helping us understand the universe's most powerful events and their role in shaping cosmic evolution. Through theoretical models and observations, Metzger explores how matter and energy behave under extreme conditions, providing insights into fundamental physics and the origins of elements vital for life. His work advances our knowledge of the universe’s dynamic and violent nature.
