I am an astronomer at the Australian National University's Mt. Stromlo Observatory. I am the Operational Scientist for the SkyMapper Observatory, an automated, rapid survey telescope designed to conduct the Southern Sky Survey

I conduct research on pulsating stars, stellar evolution, galactic structure and the search for extremely metal-poor stars, the first stars to have formed in the Universe.
