About

Dr. David Sand is an observational astronomer with a variety of interests. He spends a lot of his time searching for and understanding the smallest galaxies in the Universe, as they are extremely dark matter dominated and are signposts for structure formation. Dr. Sand is also broadly interested in time domain astronomy, and in particular understanding the progenitors and explosion mechanisms of supernovae. Dr. Sand does some instrument development to further his team's scientific goals.
