The CASS astrophysics group
CSIRO is Australia's leading research organisation and the Division of Astronomy and Space Science (CASS) is Australia's premier radio astronomy institute with a world-class reputation.
CASS operates the Australia Telescope National Facility, a suite of telescopes including the Parkes 64-m single dish, the 6 element Australia Telescope Compact Array, the 22-m Mopra telescope. In addition, early sceince is well underway for the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP), a 36 antenna, wide field-of-view interferometer located in Western Australia on the site of the future Square Kilometre Array.

Information about my work
My main research area is pulsars. Pulsars are small, dense, rotating stars and are the most fascinating objects in the Universe. You can see a cartoon of one at the top left of the screen. I like to look at single pulses and at the top right is an example of a pulse from the Vela pulsar. The ATNF pulsar group has its pages here.
I'm sure you really want to read my Papers.
And my Research Interests are listed here.
Have a look at some of my Links to the World!!
