Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space & Time (LSST)

Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space & Time (LSST)

Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space & Time (LSST)

I co-lead the LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration science team which will use LSST data to measure weak lensing and the large scale structure to learn about dark energy and dark matter. LSST will produce the deepest, widest movie of the Universe from Chile.  Its 10-year survey will observe more than 10 billion galaxies, producing ~20TB of data every night.

 I led and coordinated the Dark Energy Survey Year 3 cosmic shear lensing analysis using the most powerful data until present, of 100 million galaxies. 

Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS)

Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI)

I was a core member of the KiDS 450 sq. deg. analysis. KiDS is a large optical imaging survey, designed primarily for weak-lensing. Its exquisite quality data is taken from the VLT Survey Telescope at the ESO Paranal Observatory [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5].

DESI has taken more galaxy spectra than all other previous surveys combined. Iits high-accuracy 3D positions of galaxies,  allow us to map the cosmos and make high-precision measurements of the clustering of galaxies. My team uses this beautiful data to complement and maximize the science from imaging surveys, like LSST.
