SUMMARY:Colearnium: David Skellern
DESCRIPTION:A commentary on who really ‘invented Wi-Fi’\n\nThis week David Skellern will present on “A commentary on who really ‘invented Wi-Fi’“. \n\n———————————————————————————————————————————————————– \n\nDr David Skellern\, AO FTSE FIEEE HonFIEAust \n\nDr David Skellern worked in radio astronomy for 10 years and taught electronics at the University of Sydney and Macquarie Universities for 16 years before coming to prominence in the IT sector through Radiata\, which he co-founded in 1997. Building on joint research at Macquarie University and CSIRO\, Radiata demonstrated the world’s first chip-set implementation of the 54Mbit/s lEEE 802.11a high speed WLAN standard. Radiata was sold in 2001 to Cisco Systems Inc\, where Dr Skellern was Director\, Technology of the Wireless Networking Business Unit until 2004.  \n\nHe was appointed to the Board of National ICT Australia in 2003 and was Chief Executive Officer 2005-2010.   \n\nHe was a Non-executive Director (NED) of the Board of the Capital Markets CRC (CMCRC) 2004-2019 and Board Chair 2013-2019\, then Chair of RoZetta Institute Ltd (formerly CMCRC) 2019-2022. He was also a NED of the Boards of eight RoZetta Group companies.  \n\nDr Skellern is a NED and Board Chair of Quasar Satellite Technologies Pty Ltd\, the Semiconductor Sector Service Bureau (S3B)\, and the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR)\, and a NED of Trovio Pte Ltd. He advises several early-stage technology companies. He is a Visiting Professor at Imperial College London and an Adjunct Professor at Macquarie University.   \n\nWho Really Invented Wi-Fi? \n\nIn the early 1990s\, a joint CSIRO/Macquarie University team conceived\, developed and implemented the linked technologies that made it possible to scale wireless LANs to ever-higher speeds as chip technology advanced. This pioneering work shaped the global success of Wi-Fi.  \n\nA Sydney Morning Herald article on March 25 this year mixed valid concerns on science funding innovation with selective history and emphasis on disputes to downplay and reframe the originality and significance of these Australian achievements on high speed WiFi.  \n\nThis talk sets the record straight\, separating fact from myth\, and showing how high-speed WiFi was truly born. \n\n———————————————————————————————————————————————————– \n\n \n\nPlease let me know if you’re willing to present at a future co-learnium or have requests for specific talks\, thanks! \n\nKind regards\, \n\nSamuel (On behalf of the co-learnium organisers) \n\nTeams meeting link below: \nTeams Meeting\nOrganiser\n\nEvent details\nDownload iCal\nCategory\nColloquia

SUMMARY:S&A Colloquium: Iris de Ruiter (University of Sydney)
DESCRIPTION:The Variables and Slow Transients Extragalactic survey: exploring radio transients with ASKAP \n\nAbstract:  \n\nThe Variables and Slow Transients (VAST) survey on the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) is transforming our view of the dynamic radio sky. For decades\, searches for radio transients typically yielded only a handful of detections. Today\, wide-field\, sensitive telescopes like ASKAP have transformed our view of the dynamic radio sky. With VAST\, we are monitoring millions of sources and building light curves on an unprecedented scale. \n\nIn this talk I will present an update on the extragalactic component of VAST. I will outline our observing strategy\, data processing and quality control\, and describe how we build and interpret light curves. Finally\, I will showcase results from the 100 most variable sources in our current sample—just the beginning of what this rich dataset can reveal. \nJoin Event on Microsoft Teams\nLocation\n\nOrganiser\n\nEvent details\nDownload iCal\nCategory\nColloquia

SUMMARY:S&A Colloquium: Chenoa Tremblay (SETI / Breakthrough)
DESCRIPTION: Large-Scale Technosignatures Searches and the Stuff that Makes it Work\n\nAbstract: The search for technological life beyond Earth is a large-scale search for unidentified spectral-temporal signatures. So far\, most searches for these electromagnetic “technosignatures” have required dedicated time on telescopes or the use of archival data. A new digital back-end for the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) and the MeerKAT telescopes has been developed to continuously observe the sky during observations and process the data in real-time to detect these unique signals. The systems named COSMIC (the Commensal Open-source Multimode Interferometric Cluster) and BL USE employ Ethernet packet protocols\, real-time calibration strategies\, coherent and incoherent beamforming\, and open-source Doppler search algorithms to complete this goal at high-time and high-frequency resolutions. In collaboration with NRAO and the VLA sky-survey team\, we are recording during epoch 4 of the survey for one of the first all-sky searches for extraterrestrial signals\, with the sensitivity improvements allowed by such a powerful telescope. The purpose of this talk is to present the hardware and software structures of COSMIC and BL USE\, how they function\, and our first results. \nJoin Event on Microsoft Teams\nLocation\n\nOrganiser\n\nEvent details\nDownload iCal\nCategory\nColloquia

SUMMARY:S&A Colloquium: Aline Vidotto (Observatory of Leiden University\, Netherlands)
DESCRIPTION:Exo-space weather: The impact of stellar activity and outflows on exoplanets\n\nAbstract:  \n\nActivity of cool dwarf stars can reveal itself in the form of high-energy radiation (eg\, enhanced X-ray coronal emission\, flares) and particles (eg\, winds\, coronal mass ejections). Together\, these phenomena shape the space weather around (exo)planets. Because most of the known exoplanets have significantly closer orbital distances than solar system planets\, they are often embedded in much harsher particle and radiation environments\, leading to stronger interactions between the exoplanet and its surrounding environment.In this talk I will present some of our recent modelling efforts investigating how stellar activity and outflows can induce and shape atmospheric escape in exoplanets. I will also present the other side of the story: how (and when) exoplanets can affect the host star\, in particular\, focusing on radio emission that exoplanets can induce in the coronae of stars. Altogether\, these interactions can help us characterise the system\, putting physical constraints on planetary properties (such as their still elusive magnetic fields) as well as properties of the winds of planet hosting stars. \nJoin Event on Microsoft Teams\nLocation\n\nOrganiser\n\nEvent details\nDownload iCal\nCategory\nColloquia

SUMMARY:S&A Colloquium: Emma Carli (Swinburne University)
DESCRIPTION:Are neutron stars outside our galaxy any different?\n\nAbstract: \n\nThe TRAPUM  (TRAnsients and PUlsars with MeerKAT) collaboration has so far doubled the extragalactic radio pulsar population with a survey of nearby galaxies.The completed Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) galaxy survey revealed a large proportion of neutron stars in this star-forming dwarf are young\, including new Pulsar Wind Nebulae systems\, as well as giant pulsar glitches and Vela-like behaviour. The prolific Large Magellanic Cloud survey is still under way.This prompted a new project to study the whole Neutron Star population of the SMC as a nearby template for the high-redshift\, low-metallicity\, star-forming dwarf galaxies that are producing hyperactive Fast Radio Bursts\, exotic supernovae\, gamma-ray bursts\, and large High-Mass X-ray Binary populations. I will present the implications of this project and our initial investigations. \nJoin Event on Microsoft Teams\nLocation\n\nOrganiser\n\nEvent details\nDownload iCal\nCategory\nColloquia

SUMMARY:S&A Colloquium: Ravi Subrahmanyan (CSIRO)
DESCRIPTION:Radio discovery of Cosmic Dawn\n\nAbstract \n\nAs First Light from the First Stars transforms the universe from Dark Ages into Cosmic Dawn\, the thermal history may be traced in redshifted 21-cm from neutral hydrogen in the gas.  Efforts to build radiometers  to detect this faint signal are yielding results of significance to the theory\, thus constraining the starlight of the earliest galaxies and their impact on the gas.  I will present the progression in astrophysical constraints that have resulted from radiometers deployed in remote sites in India – at the Timbaktu collective\, in the trans-Himalayan plateau and floated on remote lakes.   Progress in precision has led to building of a GINAN radiometer in CSIRO\, which has been trialed at the Inyarrimanha Ilgari Bundara\, the Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory in remote radio-quiet Western Australia\, with an SKA-Low antenna element. \nJoin Event on Microsoft Teams\nLocation\n\nOrganiser\n\nEvent details\nDownload iCal\nCategory\nColloquia
