We welcome Xiu Liu, who has joined CSIRO Space and Astronomy as a CERC
Postdoctoral Fellow at Kensington. In her role, Xiu will apply
state-of-the-art machine/deep learning in searching ASKAP data cubes
for HI detections. She will develop a prototype ML-based source finder
that is comparable to the current non-ML based source finder,
FLASHfinder. Xiu received her PhD in Chemical Engineering from Curtin
University in December 2020, and her thesis was about Monte Carlo
simulation of gas adsorption in nanoporous carbon materials. Before
joining CSIRO, Xiu worked as a postdoctoral researcher for 1.5 years
at Curtin University, focusing on the application of machine/deep
learning in the wider resources and energy sector. Xiu’s photo above
was taken in her favourite corner at home together with four-month-old Yuki,
her recently raised first-ever kitten.
