Senior Lecturer (astronomy and astroparticle physics), Curtin University
I got my PhD from the University of Adelaide in 2009 for my thesis entitled "Ultra-High Energy Particle Detection with the Lunar Cherenkov Technique", in the field of astroparticle physics.
I then worked from 2009-2011 at Radboud University, the Netherlands, on the LOFAR radio telescope, before moving to Erlangen, Germany at the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg to work on the ANTARES and KM3NeT neutrino detectors. Since 2017, I have been based at Curtin University, Perth as part of the International Centre of Radio Astronomy Research. My current formal position is "senior lecturer".
