Kirshner is a dynamic lecturer, recipient of several teaching awards, and an outstanding scientist and leader who has worked on the mapping of the largest structures currently known in the universe. He co-discovered the first gigantic cosmic void, investigated the physics of exploding stars and their remnants, and used these stars to measure the size and age of the universe. The technical workshop will address topics on the large-scale structure and homogeneity of the universe.
