Mansi Kasliwal

Kasliwal specializes in observations of supernovae, colliding neutron stars, and other explosive cosmic events. She has developed small infrared-seeing telescopes at Palomar Observatory that scan the night skies for rapidly changing events, and she is involved with the Zwicky Transient Facility instrument at Palomar, which also scans the skies for changing objects but uses visible light. She is the principal investigator of GROWTH (Global Relay of Observatories Watching Transients Happen), a international project in astronomy that studies the physics of fast-changing events in the cosmos.
