This project aims to develop a Python package to post-process 3-D hydrodynamics simulations (e.g., from RAMSES or Quokka) to create synthetic observations for JWST/HST/VLT.

In this project the student will investigate the feasibility of a 3D printed deformable mirror with an embedded water-cooling system, and its expected performance under extreme heat conditions based on the selected material and actuator configuration.

A resolved star formation study of galaxies using TYPHOON

The student will upgrade an existing seismic classifier using modern machine learning techniques and expanded training sets.

You will use 3D magnetohydrodynamic simulations to model asymmetric accretion on protostars and their discs.

Ambitious students will investigate optimal ways to measure the stellar properties (eg Teff, age, mass) and chemical composition of this immense amount of data.

In this project you will use existing and new data to understand the nature of filamentary structure in galaxies and how they relate to magnetic fields.

This project aims to determine what source is dominating in massive galaxies 4 Gyrs ago using MAGPI (MUSE), EMU (ASKAP) surveys and eROSITA public data.

The student will process a database of sink-particle produced from 4pc^3 star cluster forming simulations to study how young binary and multiple stars evolve.

Study of the statistics of turbulent, magnetised gases, relevant for the structure and evolution of the interstellar medium, the formation and evolution of stars and galaxies, using a combination of supercomputer simulations, theory, analytical calculations, and comparison to observations.

In each project, students will utilise data from some of the world’s most powerful radio telescopes, including ASKAP, Parkes, and the Jansky VLA to study the magnetised gas in and around the radio lobes inflated by supermassive black holes.

This project aims to study quenching in a unique rejuvenated/quenching galaxy found in deep Hubble/James Webb Space Telescope imaging data.

This project involves instrument modelling, science simulation, electro-optical, and system design of a compact spatial heterodyne spectrograph instrument.

Dust in the Milky Way affects astronomical observations. Here we try too improve our knowledge of its distribution.

Magnetic fields are present throughout the universe on all scales: from planets and stars, star-forming clusters and spiral arms, entire galaxies, to galaxy clusters and cosmic filaments.
