Lauren N. Aldoroty
Assistant Research Scientist at UMBC/NASA GSFC.
Hello! I am an Assistant Research Scientist at the University of Maryland Baltimore College/NASA Goddard Space Flight Center studying supernova cosmology and helping to prepare for cosmological analysis of images from the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. In my spare time, I do pottery, paint, draw, sew, and rock climb.
Roman
I am a member of the Roman Supernova Cosmology Project Infrastructure Team. We are buliding a pixel-to-cosmology pipeline intended for the wider astronomical community to use for SN Ia cosmological analyses. I am currently leading the development of our difference imaging analysis pipeline, and am the co-leader for the Photometry subgroup for our team. You can check out a talk I gave about my work at the 2024 Roman Science Conference, Challenging Theory with Roman: From Planet Formation to Cosmology here! Additionally, I led a paper about the Roman PSF titled Initial Characterization of Stellar Photometry of Roman images from the OpenUniverse Simulations”. I have contributed to other Roman-related works, including Rose et al. 2025 and OpenUniverse et al. 2025. Also, I made our sick logo.
