Description: Instrumentation (e.g. tunable collimated beam projectors, auxiliary monitoring telescopes) and calibration methods that achieve millimagnitude-level photometric precision across large-aperture, wide-field survey-telescope camera focal planes.
DePoy heads the Munnerlyn Astronomical Instrumentation Lab, building high-throughput spectrographs and precision photometric-calibration systems (DECam/DECal for the Dark Energy Survey, VIRUS for HETDEX, GMACS for the Giant Magellan Telescope). A strong astronomy pivot where detector/spectrograph sensitivity is the enabling technology.
Marshall builds astronomical spectrographs and calibration systems in the Munnerlyn Lab; co-PI of GMACS (Giant Magellan Telescope) and project scientist for the Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer, leading instrumentation for DES and HETDEX. Astronomy pivot driven by high-precision spectral/photometric instrumentation.
Stubbs was the inaugural project scientist for the Vera C. Rubin Observatory/LSST and works on precision photometric calibration (e.g. tunable collimated beam projectors) for its 3200-megapixel wide-field survey camera, alongside dark-matter/dark-energy searches and tests of gravitation. Included as a borderline, not-preferred astronomy-instrumentation case: the camera/calibration technology is complex and cutting-edge but is CCD-based rather than a quantum sensor per se.
