## Biographical Sketch

Craig E. Tull has a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of California, Davis, and has been developing scientific software and managing software projects for more than 25 years. His interests are in component frameworks, generative programming, and using scripting languages to enhance the power and flexibility of scientific data exploration. Tull has worked on science frameworks on several experiments including as framework architect in the STAR experiment and as leader of the LBNL framework effort in ATLAS. Tull has worked on the PPDG (Particle Physics Data Grid) and the GUPFS (Global Unified Parallel File System)projects that aim to deliver innovative solutions to data-intensive computing in the distributed environment. He served a three-year assignment in DOE headquarters as program manager for Computational High Energy Physics, including HEP’s SciDAC portfolio, and has served as the U.S. manager of Software and Computing for the Daya Bay neutrino experiment in China.

The optical light curve of some supernovae (SNe) may be powered by the
outward diffusion of the energy deposited by the explosion shock (the
so-called shock breakout) in optically thick (
