SUPERVISION AND TEACHING SUMMARy
Teaching expertise
I have been involved in teaching all levels of the physics major. I was the first year coordinator for physics for more than a decade and teach the third year advanced electromagnetism unit KYA320.
I am currently supervising 5 PhD students (3 as the primary supervisor), who are undertaking projects in astrometry, space domain awareness, and space weather.
Teaching responsibility
KYA320 Advanced Electromagnetism
Research Supervision
In the last 5 years, Simon has had eight PhD and one Masters students graduate. Simon currently supervises 5 students in PhD projects in astrophysics (3 as a primary supervisor).
Simon has a range of PhD projects available. These projects cover a range of topics, including investigations of the physical processes that govern high-mass star formation, astrometry using very long baseline interferometry, and investigations of feedback processes in starburst galaxies. For more information on projects, please contact him. Students need either a Masters degree or first-class honours in physics or astrophysics, experience in radio astronomy (and interferometry in particular) is desirable, but not essential.
