This project has two components: developing the science case for the instrument, defining the mission parameters that are necessary to ensure the science goals are achieved; and, for a student so inclined, physically building the telescope and camera system.

A new search for strong gravitational lenses in the MAGPI survey

A resolved star formation study of galaxies using TYPHOON

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.

This project aims to measure both distances and velocities for 100,000 galaxies and so map the visible and dark matter within a billion light-years.

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.

The kinematics and morphology of typically massive disk galaxies has changed dramatically over the last ~9 Gyrs.

The goal of this project is to make predictions for the observable gamma-ray signatures of different plasma physics models for cosmic ray transport.

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.

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.
