Dilpreet Kaur joined CSIRO Space & Astronomy at the end of last year.
Dilpreet received her PhD in "Tracking Interstellar Medium Towards
Timing Array Millisecond Pulsars with the MWA" from Curtin
University. As a CSIRO Space and Astronomy co-supervised student, her
PhD was focused on studying the ISM in line of sight of millisecond
pulsars using the MWA, uGMRT and Parkes radio telescopes. Before that
she was awarded an M.Tech and a post graduate diploma in space and
atmospheric sciences under the Centre for Space Science and Technology
Education in Asia-Pacific program affiliated to the United
Nations. She was honoured with a silver medal for her excellence and
securing one of the top three positions among all the 12 students from
all across Asia and the Pacific. Her masters project was in
optical-near IR where she studied variability in blazar OJ287 using a
1.2m optical telescope at Mt Abu, India. In her role at CSIRO,
Dilpreet will be exploring some exciting practical applications of
pulsars using her pulsar data analysis skills to study space weather,
generating random numbers for cryptography and developing a navigation
system using pulsars. She is also very passionate about communicating
science through her art and public outreach. Some of her art has
featured in annual departmental and international magazines such as
the SKAO magazine Contact, media releases, and in ICRAR’s news item.
