New Narrabri postdoctoral scientist
It is a pleasure to welcome Maxim Voronkov to the Narrabri Observatory. Maxim joined us in late March, as a CSIRO postdoctoral fellow. In addition to some private research time, Maxim's position has a specific aim of studying optimum SKA configurations (mainly in an aips++ environment) and liaising with the Swinburne SKA simulation group.
Dr. Maxim Voronkov
Maxim comes to us from the Moscow State University and the Astro Space Center in Moscow, where he completed his MSc (1999) and PhD (2002) on the modelling and structure of masers. In addition to observational investigations, Maxim has a strong interest in the theoretical aspects of methanol maser pumping mechanisms. Observationally, he has used an array of single dish and VLBI telescopes and techniques in his maser work. Prior to studying for his PhD, Maxim worked on mathematical software in an object-oriented environment.
