Graduate student program

We'd like to welcome the following students into the ATNF co-supervision program:

♦ Marcella Massardi (SISSA/ISAS) has commenced her project entitled "Observations of the large scale structure of gas in the Universe" with Prof Gianfranco De Zotti (Padua) and Prof Ron Ekers (ATNF). The project is aimed at SZ studies as a tool for investigating the evolution of cosmic structures on different scales.

♦ Adam Deller (Swinburne) has commenced his project entitled "Software correlation for advanced VLBI, with applications in pulsar and extragalactic astrophysics" with Dr Steven Tingay (Swinburne), Prof Matthew Bailes (Swinburne) and Dr John Reynolds (ATNF).

We also congratulate Brad Warren for the recent successful submission of his ANU PhD thesis "The Nature of High HI Mass-to-Light Ratio Field Galaxies".

 
Finally, a great Annual Student Symposium happened on 11 May, organised by Ilana Klamer and Katherine Newton-McGee (see page above). A fantastic set of talks was presented by 11 students and was extremely well attended by other students, supervisors and staff. See: www.atnf.csiro.au/research/conferences/student_symposia/ASS2005/
