ATNF graduate student program

We welcome the following students into the ATNF co-supervision program:

• Joris Verbiest (Swinburne) has commenced his project entitled "High Precision Pulsar Timing" with Prof Matthew Bailes (Swinburne) and Dr Dick Manchester (ATNF). Joris will be using the new-generation high-performance timing instrumentation to study pulsars and will be part of the global / Australian effort to detect a gravitational-wave background.

• Katie Kern (Swinburne) has commenced her project "Galaxy Groups and their Evolution: What GEMS and LVHIS can tell us". Her supervisors will be Dr Virginia Kilborn and Prof Duncan Forbes (Swinburne) and Dr Baerbel Koribalski (ATNF). Katie will be studying the HI content of galaxies in the Group Evolution Multi-wavelength Study (GEMS) and the Low-Velocity HI Survey (LVHIS).
