The Legacy Survey of Space and Time, is a groundbreaking 10-year survey led by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile. With the most powerful digital camera ever built. LSST will scan the entire southern sky every few nights, building a dynamic, high-resolution map of the universe.
Sean MacBride is a PhD student driven by two goals: improving the instruments we use to observe the cosmos, and making sense of the data they produce to better understand our universe.
Together, LSST and Sean are getting ready to change the game. Sean helps commission the LSST camera—testing its performance, fixing issues, and making sure it’s ready for the sky. He also leads a program that enables LSST to quickly react to rare cosmic events like gravitational waves and neutrinos. And once the data starts flowing, Sean is building the tools to study dark sirens—a new way to unlock the secrets of space using light and gravity together.
