John Morgan started at CSIRO Kensington last month, having been just across the
road at Curtin University for 13 years. In that time he worked on a wide
range of interests, starting with Very Large Baseline Interferometry
(VLBI), then branching into low-frequency radio astronomy with the
Murchison Widefield Array (MWA). With the MWA he was involved in survey
work, as well as polarimetry and imaging the Sun with very high
dynamic range, but his main focus in recent years has been on making
measurements of Interplanetary Scintillation: the "twinkling" of
compact radio sources due to the solar wind. Through this work he has
become increasingly interested in using this technique for
understanding space weather, so he is delighted to join CSIRO as a Space
Weather scientist to see how we can make a unique contribution in this
interesting and important area.
