    Bio-Sketch
    Dr. Carolyn Kuranz received her Ph.D. in Applied Physics from the
    University of Michigan in 2009. She is currently an Assistant
    Research Scientist at the Center for Laser Experimental Astrophysical
    Research and the Center for Radiative Shock Hydrodynamics at the
    University of Michigan. Her research involves hydrodynamic
    instability and radiation hydrodynamics experiments at
    high-energy-density physics facilities. Dr. Kuranz's  research is
    relevant to astrophysical systems, such as, the hydrodynamics
    instabilities that may develop in core-collapse supernovae or a
    radiative shocks in a supernova remnants. She has lead experiments at
    the Omega Laser Facility and National Ignition Facility and
    participated in experiments at the Trident Laser Facility and The
    Vulcan Laser Facility.
