Eligible to supervise Masters and PhD - email supervisor to discuss availability.


I am an astroparticle physicist, with research interests in neutrinos, cosmic rays, gamma rays and dark matter. IceCube at the South Pole is the world's largest neutrino detector and is observing neutrinos originating in far distant galaxies. The Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina measures cosmic rays, which are the highest energy particles in the Universe. The SABRE experiment will search for dark matter, deep in a mine, in Stawell, Victoria.
