Jeremy Kubica is the Director of Engineering for the LINCC project, where he leads a team working at the intersection of state of the art computer science and cutting edge astrophysics. Previously he was an engineering director at Google and co-lead of Google’s Pittsburgh office.

Jeremy is a graduate of the Ph.D. program at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute. His thesis research focused on large-scale data mining problems and the search for structure in large, noisy data sets. Previously, he received a B.S. in Computer Science from Cornell University and a M.S. in Robotics from Carnegie Mellon University. He is the author of several books designed to introduce people to computer science

I’m a Professor of Applied Physics at Olympic College, with a background in Astronautical Engineering and Space Physics, and a Collaborator with the UW’s Rubin Observatory efforts since 2009.

My scientific interests focus on creating new tools and methods to study large, complex datasets like the LSST through simulations, machine learning and high performance computing. These interests take me across a range of astronomical topics from detecting the faintest asteroids in our Solar System to measuring the distances to far-off galaxies.
