Mark Cheung recently joined CSIRO Space and Astronomy as the Science and Deputy
Director and will help the Business Unit grow its portfolio of
activities in the space domain by working closely with internal,
domestic, and international partners.
Mark's research interests lie at the intersection between
astrophysics, space weather, high-performance computing, machine
learning and remote sensing. His first experience with CSIRO was as an
ATNF vacation student working with data from the Southern Galactic Plane
Survey. After completing his undergraduate degree at the University of
Adelaide, Mark moved to the Max Planck Institute for Solar System
Research in Germany to study magnetic activity on the Sun. Thereafter
he moved to the US and worked on a number of NASA missions, most
notably the Solar Dynamics Observatory.
Mark loves working with diverse, dedicated, and talented teams to bring
about advances in science and technology, and is thrilled to return to CSIRO and Australia.
