Senior research fellow, The University of Western Australia
I am a senior research fellow at the University of Western Australia node of the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR). I am the Project Scientist for the Evolutionary Map of the Universe (EMU) survey with the ASKAP telescope as well as the co-chair of the SKA magnetism science working group. I study both the continuum and polarisation radio data from distant galaxies as well as galaxy clusters and filaments.

Galaxy clusters allow us to study a broad range of rich processes — including magnetism and plasma physics — in environments we can't recreate in our labs.
