معرفی
Mukremin Kilic is the Ted and Cuba Webb Presidential Professor at the University of Oklahoma, specializing in Astrophysics & Cosmology within the Homer L. Dodge Department of Physics and Astronomy. His research focuses on white dwarf populations, binary systems, and planetary system evolution around Sun-like stars.
- B.Sc., Bogazici University (1999)
- Ph.D., University of Texas at Austin (2006)
Dr. Kilic's work explores short-period binary white dwarfs destined to merge, detectable via gravitational waves by the LISA mission. He also investigates planetary systems around white dwarfs using ground- and space-based telescopes, leveraging their small radii and post-main-sequence evolution to study remnant planetary architectures.
His featured publications highlight discoveries of ultramassive white dwarf mergers, nearby LISA sources, and comprehensive white dwarf samples. These studies span gravitational wave astronomy, binary evolution, and debris disk analysis.
