  mentoring_philosophy: 'Our goal is to develop the skills needed to read, extract, and interpret astronomical data in order to deepen our scientific understanding of the universe. We live in an era of big data, where the ability to evaluate large and complex datasets is increasingly essential. Real observational data often contain instrumental defects, noise, and errors, making the challenge of identifying “the one” meaningful signal among billions of pixels both exciting and broadly applicable across disciplines.  This project will be tailored to each participant’s skills, with full respect for diversity and inclusion. Non-physics majors and minors are strongly encouraged to apply. As this is a collaborative effort, we are especially looking for individuals who are enthusiastic team players.'

  overall_research_project_description: 'Our research team works with cutting-edge space telescope data from the James Webb Space Telescope, the European Space Agency’s Euclid mission, and the Hubble Space Telescope. We search for exploding stars, known as supernovae, by comparing newly captured images with archival observations.  Amid billions of pixels, identifying these tiny signals is a challenge that requires both human effort and advanced AI training. Along the way, we may uncover remarkable phenomena, gravitational lenses, stars with high proper motion, or even completely unknown objects.'

  research_tasks_for_student_research_assistant_s_: 'We invite you to help visually inspect images taken by space telescopes and compare them across different epochs. With database expertise, you can contribute by organizing and sorting these large datasets. If you have a computing background, your skills will be valuable in classifying the data into meaningful categories. For those with training in physics or astronomy, there are opportunities to engage in spectral classification and more advanced analysis. Ultimately, after collecting and processing the data, our goal is to analyze the results and extract new scientific insights.'
