Andrew BeckerI work on a varietry of surveys which specialize in the real-time extraction, analysis, classification, and dissemination of astronomical variability. This includes the Deep Lens Survey and management of its transient search, the ESSENCE supernova search, and the SuperMACHO microlensing search and its public alert page. My thesis work was on Exotic Gravitational Microlensing Effects as a Probe of Stellar and Galactic Structure.
