Resumo: Microlensing can be used to discover exoplanets of a wide range of masses with orbits beyond ~1 AU and even free-floating planets. The Roman space mission will use microlensing to discover approximately ~1400 planets by monitoring ~100 million stars to find ~50000 microlensing events. Modeling each microlensing event, especially the ones involving two or more lenses, is typically complicated and time-consuming, and analyzing thousands of microlensing events is possibly infeasible using the traditional methods. In this presentation, I will introduce two large surveys including the Roman space mission and the Rubin LSST, and discuss their synergies and the tools under development to utilize the uniqueness of these two surveys.
