Research My research interests are focused around the formation and evolution of structures in the universe. Current topics of work include the development of instrumentation and observational techniques to measure signatures of the epoch of reionization (EOR) in the redshifted 21 cm background from neutral hydrogen in the high-redshift integalactic medium (IGM), as well as the application of gravitational lensing to studying the evolution of supermassive black holes. Read a brief description of the epoch of reionization and how measurements of the redshifted 21 cm background can help us to explore it. I am involved with two existing projects to detect and characterize the redshifted 21 cm emission from the reionization epoch. They are the Mileura Widefield Array (MWA), which is under construction in the western Australia Outback and scheduled for completion by 2009, and the Experiment to Detect the Global Epoch of Reionization Signature (EDGES). Read more about these experimental approaches.
CV, Publications, and Abstracts PublicationsTalks, posters, and outreach Additional Materials
1. Here are two posters for a conference in September, 2007, called Astrophysics in the Next Decade: JWST and Concurrent Facilities. They give an overview of the redshifted 21 cm reionization measurements planned for the Mileura Widefield Array (MWA) and the technological approach of the instrument.
2. This is a poster for a conference in February, 2008, called The Evolution of the Galaxies through the Neutral Hydrogen Window. It gives an overview of the redshifted 21 cm reionization measurements that the Experiment to Detect the Global EOR Signature (EDGES) system is designed to make, as well as the results of the pilot observing campaign from December, 2006.
