Funded Activity Summary

Galaxy formation and femtosecond frequency combs. I bring galaxy observations from already-scheduled European time on major international telescopes and I will add significant value to large US datasets. The scientific return will accrue to Australian researchers. I bring strong collaborations with the UK, USA, Europe and Canada, providing galaxy data which Australia cannot otherwise access. I will establish a new knowledge-base in Australia by applying femtosecond frequency comb technology to astronomy. This will cement Australian involvment in future telescopes. New technology for Australian telescopes, commercial and industry links are also possible. Student training is a main focus, providing a future for Australian research and skills transferable to industry.
