Kelly is thrilled to have joined CSIRO Space and Astronomy as a Bolton Fellow. Originally from Montreal, Kelly obtained her PhD at the University of Amsterdam in 2021, where she studied repeating fast radio bursts (FRBs) with Arecibo and the radio counterparts of neutron star mergers with LOFAR. Prior to joining CSIRO, Kelly was a postdoc at Swinburne, where she developed a Bayesian visibility-plane modelfitting framework to fit models of neutron star merger jet afterglows to VLBI data. She is also a member of CRAFT, where she contributes to the localisation of FRBs using ASKAP voltages. At CSIRO, she looks forward to working with colleagues to leverage and develop ATNF VLBI capabilities toward high-precision localisation of ASKAP FRBs and studying the various other transients being discovered in the VAST ASKAP survey. Outside of work, Kelly enjoys attending concerts across various music genres and being in nature through bushwalking and camping.
