A New Era of Data-Intensive Science

The LSST Discovery Alliance is a non-profit organization that unites a diverse global network of scientists to realize the full promise of discovery with the NSF-DOE Rubin Observatory’s Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). Through cross-disciplinary innovative tools, training, and collaborative networks, we enhance the scientific output and broaden the reach of the unprecedented LSST initiative, transforming humankind’s understanding of the Universe and offering a model for data-intensive discovery that can be applied to other scientific research domains.

Announcing the Inaugural Vera C. Rubin Astronomy Frontiers Fellowship

The Fellowship is made possible through the generosity of NVIDIA, which is funding the award and providing the Fellow with dedicated compute resources and access to NVIDIA’s training programs. It honors the legacy of Dr. Vera C. Rubin, whose observational work provided some of the first strong evidence for dark matter, by supporting a scientist positioned to push the boundaries of what AI-driven discovery can do with Rubin’s data.
