Watch S. George Djorgovski, a Professor and Executive Officer (Dept. Chair) for Astronomy and the Director of the Center for Data Driven Discovery at Caltech, discuss VR/AR as a scientific and educational platform during the Virtual and Augmented Reality for Space Science and Exploration symposium at the Keck Institute for Space Studies on January 30, 2018. S. George Djorgovski's research encompassed a broad variety of topics, including structure and dynamics of globular clusters, fundamental properties of galaxies and their evolution, gamma-ray bursts, early phases of galaxy and structure formation, distant quasars, dark energy, and exploration of the time domain in astronomy. He has led several large digital sky surveys, and is one of the founders of the Virtual Observatory framework, as well as the emerging discipline of Astroinformatics. He was the Chair of the National Virtual Observatory Science Definition Team, the director or the Meta Institute for Computational Astrophysics (the first professional scientific institution based in virtual worlds), among many other leadership roles. His principal scientific interests are in the ways in which information and computation technologies are changing the ways we do science and scholarship in general, and the emergence of a new scientific methodology for the computationally enabled, data rich science in the 21st century. He has earned numerous recognitions, including the Presidential Young Investigator Award, the Dudley Observatory Award, the NASA Group Achievement Award, and first prize in the Boeing-Griffith Science Writing Contest, as well as fellowships with the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the Institute for the Advancement of Engineering, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The asteroid 24421 Djorgovski is named in his honor.
