Stephen Ro

Stephen is 2nd-year graduate student who received his undergraduate degree in Mathematical Physics from Queen’s University. His research interests include core-collapse supernovae and shocks.

He is currently working with the Prof. Shelley Wright. in simulating high-redshift galaxy images viewed with integrated-field spectroscopy and adaptive optics. Stephen has constructed a simulator (GALINO) which generates images of high-redshift galaxies that you would expect when viewed with integrated-field spectroscopy and adaptive optics. With GALINO, it is possible to distinguish physical and instrumental mechanisms which affect our interpretations of these young galaxies. The simulations are particularly helpful in studying the bright, active galactic nuclei in these distant objects.

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.
