 \nTitle: How to Find the Sources of Gravitational Waves and Astrophysi
 cal Neutrinos<br>
\nAbstract: Cataclysmic astronomical explosions send
  invisible messengers to Earth\, such as extremely high-energy neutrin
 os and gravitational waves\, that are detected all the time by instrum
 ents like IceCube and LIGO. The challenge in doing science with these 
 messengers lies in the reality that these instruments cannot pinpoint 
 the exact object in space that exploded: they can at best localize the
  explosion to an area on the sky roughly equivalent to the width of a 
 couple of your fingers held at arm’s length. The task of finding the
  exact source of the messenger falls to the electromagnetic astronomic
 al community. In my work\, I help operate and process images from the 
 most powerful optical telescope ever built in real-time to search for 
 light from these explosions. In this talk\, I’ll convey the thrill (
 anxiety) of working in real-time\, overview the process of finding the
  sources of high-energy neutrinos and gravitational waves using machin
 e learning\, and outline the vast array of scientific analyses that ca
 n be done once these sources are found.
