Daniel Scolnic graduated from MIT in 2007. He got his PhD from Johns Hopkins in 2013 on analysis of supernovae from the Pan-STARRs survey. Interesting fact, Pan-STARRs is a survey funded by the Air Force to find killer asteroids – so scientists help find the asteroids, and in return get to do the science they are interested in. Now Dan is a KICP Fellow and he work on the Dark Energy Survey to try to solve the mystery of dark energy.
