Welcome to Yossef Zenati's
Research Website!

Blue Sky Clouds

I am a theoretical and computational astrophysicist interested in the fundamental aspects of compact objects (Black Holes, Neutron Stars, White Dwarfs), nuclear and plasma astrophysics, and thermonuclear

supernovae (SNe Ia), the neutron capture process (r-process), Dark Matter,

and transient events.

Through numerical and analytical modeling, I aim to predict and clarify complex, innovative observational phenomena, advancing our

understanding of these areas of interest.

​​​​

​Recently, I started a position as Assistant Professor of Theoretical

Physics at the Astrophysics Research Center (ARCO) at the Open University of Israel. In addition, I serve as an Adjunct Assistant Professor

at Johns Hopkins University. 

​

 

Are you eager to explore thrilling astrophysical phenomena?

We have outstanding opportunities for graduates and postdoctoral researchers. 

Don’t hesitate to reach out to us!

​

We have 2-3 new postdoctoral fellowships open (Application Deadline: Dec 30th 2026); see AAS.org.
