New CERC postdoc Emmy Escott, pictured with the WSRT and a LOFAR tile.

Emmy Escott completed her PhD at Durham University in the UK, where she produced the first image of the Boötes Deep Field at sub-arcsecond resolution at 144 MHz. To create this wide-field image she applied VLBI techniques to incorporate the international station of LOFAR into the data reduction process. Her scientific focus connects kilo-parsec low-frequency radio emission with ionized AGN outflows. To study these outflows, she conducts spectral decomposition on SDSS and DESI data to investigate the kinematics of the [OIII] emission line. As part of her CSIRO Early Research Career fellowship she will be using her VLBI experience to help with the commissioning of the LAMBDA project.
