The study of transient astrophysical events has greatly aided our understanding of the nearby and distant Universe. In this talk, I will introduce and explain the physical processes that underlie supernovae, one of the most powerful cosmological probes we have found. Then, I will explain how the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope will greatly enhance our understanding of transients, and I will introduce my research into how we can optimize LSST ’s cadence to enable more transient science.
