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.
Parry designs and builds multi-object and integral-field near-infrared spectrographs for ground-based telescopes (CIRPASS, SMIRFS, MOONS) and is currently developing concepts for unfolding space telescopes and instruments to search for exoplanet biosignatures.
Thatte leads Oxford's role in developing HARMONI, the first-light integral-field spectrograph for ESO's Extremely Large Telescope, alongside observational studies of black holes and galaxy structure enabled by advanced integral-field spectroscopy.
