Jane Kaczmarek is returning to the Parkes Observatory as the Senior
Systems Scientist and bringing her love of everything "radio
telescopes" with her. Jane was first at Parkes Observatory as a
post-doctoral researcher and helped to commission the (then new)
Ultra-Widebandwith Low (UWL) receiver on Murriyang, the Parkes 64m Radio
Telescope. More recently, Jane spent the past three years
helping to build a new radio telescope in Canada as part of the
Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) Fast Radio
Burst (FRB; CHIME/FRB) Outriggers Project. Through both of these
projects, she has become increasingly interested in the ground-breaking
technologies that are driving radio astrophysical research into
the future -- and she is ecstatic to be back at Parkes and looks
forward to being a part of the very (radio) bright future of
Murriyang!
