Dr. Tina Peters

Tina was a Postdoctoral Fellow studying supernovae and quasars in large imaging surveys. She worked with Prof. Renée Hložek on supernovae science in preparation for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope.

She uses photometric data to classify and estimate redshifts of quasars in other large imaging surveys. Her work also involves using statistical methods and large probabilistic catalogs to measure cosmological parameters or calculate the quasar luminosity function.

Tina received her Ph.D. from Drexel University in 2016 where her supervisor was Prof. Gordon Richards. She joined the Dunlap Institute in August 2016.

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land. For more information.
