Dr. Tanja Petrushevska je docentka za področje fizike na Univerzi v Novi Gorici.
Dr. Tanja Petrushevska is an assistant professor of physics at the University of Nova Gorica. Her research interests lie in the field of observational astrophysics and cosmology, especially time domain astronomy. Her research has showed the feasibility of searches for strongly lensed supernovae with ground-based facilities and resulted in the discovery of five of the most distant core-collapse supernovae with implications on the volumetric core-collapse rates to very high redshifts. It has furthermore showed the utility of supernovae for cosmological studies, by investigating the properties of the strongly lensed and very distant supernova. As part of the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory, she has contributed to the discovery of supernovae and their study, including the first resolved, multiply-imaged supernova Ia and the first supernova forming a compact neutron star binary. Her current research also includes studying tidal disruption flares and searching for short gamma-ray bursts from supernovae induced by axion-like particles which are candidates for dark matter.
