This is my old personal page at CSIRO.

I have now moved to the Cagliary Astronomical Observatory, INAF, Italy (see new personal page).

 

Main projects

as PI:
MeerKAT Fornax Survey – Deep HI and radio continuum survey of the Fornax cluster using MeerKAT.
Westerbork Coma Survey – Blind HI survey of the central region of the Coma cluster and the in-falling south-west group.
 
as co-I:
ATLAS3D – Multi-wavelength survey of a volume-limited sample of 260 nearby early-type galaxies.
HALOGAS – Deep HI survey of nearby spiral galaxies looking for their neutral gas halo with the WSRT.
Bluedisk – HI survey of SDSS spiral galaxies with a blue outer disc.
WALLABY – All-sky HI survey with the Australia SKA Pathfinder.
 

Software

SoFiA source finder for 3D spectral line data. Available on GitHub and at the Astrophysics Source Code Library.
