To investigate the role of mergers with smaller galaxies in shaping our Milky Way by using the data from stellar surveys and cosmological simulations of the NIHAO suite to identify stellar remnants of galaxies that merged with the Milky Way and explain their role in building the main components of the Milky Way.

This research project employs the WiFeS spectrograph on the ANU 2.3m telescope at Siding Spring to measure nebular chemical abundances in isolated gas-rich dwarf galaxies in the Local Volume.

This technical project aims to develop a new approach for fitting absorption and emission spectra simultaneously, employing Gradient Descent and Bayesian methods.

Using both the Wide-Field Spectrograph (WiFeS) on the ANU 2.3m telescope and the 1.4 GHz radio band on the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), the student will address how the radio jets from the supermassive black hole interact with the Seyfert host galaxy to affect the evolution of the galaxy.

This project requires significant data analysis efforts and some observational and theoretical efforts.

The Milky Way's magnetic field is critical for shaping the structure and evolution of the galaxy, regulating star formation, and transporting cosmic rays. Understanding the interaction between the magnetic field and atomic HI gas is key to unraveling the galaxy's dynamics and evolution.

Mapping azimuthal variations in metals across cosmic time

With this project we will be using the newly automated ANU 2.3m telescope and the powerful WiFeS optical spectrograph to perform a time-series measurement of luminous active galaxies (AGN) using the technique of Quasar Reverberation Mapping.

In this project, the student would study both the spectral and structural properties of the thermal electron density and magnetic fields in the ionised gas phase of the Milky Way.
