Casey Law

Casey Law is an astronomer at Caltech specializing in radio surveys, astrophysical transients, and data-intensive astrophysics. He works to develop novel approaches to observational astrophysics through open science practices and reorienting AI tools toward healthy, sustainable outcomes. He leads the OVRO Software and Algorithms Lab, where he develops software and algorithms for projects including OVRO-LWA and the Deep Synoptic Array, for which he serves as Data Management subsystem lead. Dr. Law led development of the VLA realfast project, a real-time, commensal transient survey effort at the Very Large Array, which made the first precision localization of a fast radio burst. He was a founding member of the VLA Sky Survey and used it to discover the first orphan afterglow of a long gamma-ray burst.
