About

Matt Nicholl is a Reader in Astrophysics at Queen's University Belfast, UK. His research primarily focuses on stellar explosions, including supernovae and kilonovae, as well as their associated electromagnetic phenomena. Recent publications highlight topics such as the spectroscopic evolution of superluminous supernovae, gravitational wave follow-ups, and implications for the progenitors of gamma-ray bursts.
