SUPERVISION AND TEACHING SUMMARy

Research Supervision:
Guifré is currently supervising six HDR candidates focussing on enhancing the spacecraft tracking activities at the University of Tasmania with VLBI radio telescopes. These projects vary from:

  • solar wind characterisation and interplanetary scintillation, detection and forecasting of coronal mass ejections
  • ultra-precise orbit determination of spacecraft with VLBI antennas
  • use of astronomical infrastructure for space domain awareness and RF characterisation of active and passive satellites
  • bi-static radar operations for near-Earth objects, including asteroids and geostationary resilient objects
  • space ties for geodesy with satellite navigations
