Research summary
AI-generated

J. R. Peterson works in observational and computational astrophysics, with a focus on large sky-survey astronomy such as the Vera C. Rubin Observatory (LSST). Their work spans detecting and classifying transient astronomical events, weak gravitational lensing analysis of galaxy clusters, and developing simulation tools (like photon Monte Carlo simulations and deep learning methods) to model telescope optics and process astronomical images. This research supports large-scale sky surveys aimed at studying galaxies, dark energy, and transient cosmic phenomena.

Publication output was modest and fairly steady through the mid-2010s to early 2020s, then increased notably from 2024 onward, suggesting growing recent activity.
