Radio astronomer based in Perth Australia. Project scientist for EMU survey. Lover of radio galaxies, cosmic magnetism, and things lurking below the noise (and my dogs).
Lovely. I almost never see rainbows my whole life until Perth, now it’s so often and an amazing amount of double rainbows

Last month I got to go to Inyarrimanha Ilgari Bundara, the CSIRO Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory, which hosts #ASKAP, the #MWA and the #SKA-low was great to see SKA on the ground, it’s really happening

Here’s just a fun astronomy 🔭picture. This shows two large galaxy cluster possibly heading towards a merger. The background is #DES, blue is #Chandra X-ray, red is high res radio from #ASKAP #EMU survey, and green is large scale radio from EMU

The Radio Galaxy Zoo: EMU is going live! Help us link radio sources to their parent galaxies and classify them with simple descriptive tags. Discover exciting and unknown objects waiting to be found. Can't wait to hear about your discoveries! 🔭

I think I like radios 🔭

Asked chatGPT to make an image inspired by my work, detecting radio emission from the cosmic web 🔭I think I like them

Spent the week teaching at ATNF radio school at the compact array in Narrabri 🔭 I think it went pretty well, fun that I used to be the student and now I’m one of the “experts”, which sounds wrong. Hope the students found it useful

Look at this amazing and weird radio emission captured by ASKAP for the EMU survey 🔭
Radio astronomy is cool

Just got my invite to this nice seeming place. Suppose I’ll kick things off with a lively pic from ASKAP telescope. Reminds me a bit of a sea horse.
