ATNF graduate student program

We welcome Aaron Chippendale and Jamie Stevens into the ATNF PhD co-supervision program. Aaron is a member of staff, and has now commenced a part-time PhD project on "High Dynamic Range Imaging with many Baseline Synthesis Interferometry". His supervisors are Anne Green (University of Sydney) and Mike Kesteven (ATNF). Jamie Stevens is undertaking a project entitled "The HI Properties of Galaxy Groups" with supervisors Rachel Webster and David Barnes (University of Melbourne), Michael Drinkwater (University of Queensland) and D.J. Pisano (ATNF).

We are also pleased to announce that the recipients of the prestigious 2003 CSIRO-ATNF postgraduate scholarships are Ilana Klamer (University of Sydney) and Jamie McCallum (University of Tasmania). Ilana and Jamie's PhD projects will be announced in a future newsletter. These scholarships are awarded annually to new students who should submit their applications by the same deadline as their APA applications. See www.atnf.csiro.au/research/graduate for more details.

Our congratulations for the official acceptance of their PhD theses go to: Paul Roberts for "Components for Wide Bandwidth Signal Processing in Radio Astronomy" (University of Sydney); Jasmina Lazendic for "Molecular Diagnostics of Supernova Remnant Shocks" (University of Sydney); Christian Bruens for "The Gaseous Arms of the Magellanic System and other High-Velocity Clouds" (Bonn University); and Martin Anderson for "A Radio Survey of Selected Fields from the ROSAT All Sky Survey" (University of Western Sydney).
