Introducing: Liliana Caballero

Hi! Currently I’m a postdoc at North Carolina State University and I’m studying neutrino scattering from accretion disks formed during the coalescence of a neutron star and a black hole. I’m also interested in the transport properties of the neutron star crust such as the viscosity and the thermal conductivity – topics I examined during my PhD with Chuck Horowitz at Indiana University.

I will be contributing to the CRUST09 blog. If you have any comments, questions and/or suggestions and you are too busy these days to post them, share them with me. I will be happy to help! 

Introducing: Nevin Weinberg

Hi, I'm Nevin Weinberg, one of the bloggers at the Crust09 conference. I'm a postdoctoral fellow at University of California, Berkeley. At the workshop I'll be talking about my work on explosive carbon burning during superbursts. Let's see, my interests outside of science... hockey, music, nytimes. I'm excited about the meeting and looking forward to sharing what I hear & see!
