Lucas da Conceição is a PhD student at the University of Manitoba, Canada. His research focuses on Pulsar Wind Nebulae (PWNe), currently addressing the problem of missing shells around young PWNe using optical IFU spectroscopy, and conducting searches for continuous gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars. In addition, he is a member of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Canadian Astronomic Society, and the Cosmological Advanced Survey Telescope for Optical and UV Research (CASTOR) mission.
