Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeregrine Mcgehee is an astrophysicist and control-systems engineer with over three decades of hands-on experience applying real-time software and instrumentation expertise to large experimental facilities, observatories, and high energy density laboratory astrophysics. Currently supporting operations at SLAC’s Matter in Extreme Conditions instrument, he also co-chairs the LSST SMWLV collaboration, bridging observational Galactic science and large survey data systems. His background spans staff science roles at Caltech/IPAC, control systems leadership at Los Alamos, and independent consulting, giving him a rare combination of scientific leadership and practical engineering delivery. Based in Menlo Park, he pairs academic rigor (PhD in Astronomy) with decades of mission-critical control and software work, and outside the lab he performs traditional Balinese gamelan and dance, reflecting a long-standing commitment to cultural as well as scientific communities.
