scientist at the Anglo-Australian
Observatory.
Research Interests
My research focuses on cosmology and structure formation in our universe. Of particular interest are the following subjects.
Together with Joss Bland-Hawthorn I have developed a Java calculator of galaxy counts and variances, for magnitude limited observations in a range of photometric bands. The program is freely available.
