Description
My PhD research has been on GRB 201015A, a GRB with lower energetics and a softer spectrum than the majority of the population. I extensively studied the afterglow observations of GRB 201015A. Evidence of energy injection has been found from a surprising shallowing in the x-ray light curve. I studied a small sample of GRBs with similar properties, and I expect the launch of SVOM will add further soft GRBs to the sample. My future work involves simulating the spectra of such events detected by the MXT and ECLAIRs instruments.
