Aidan works as a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Tasmania, dividing his time between observational pulsar astronomy and instrument development.
Currently, his research is aimed at projects that make use of the time available on the UTas 26-m radio telescope. The telescope has a coherent dedispersion system with 64 MHz of bandwidth and is good for high-resolution studies of bright pulsars. A study of the pulsed radio emission from two magnetars is currently underway.
UTas is actively engaged in the devleopment of new radio astronomy hardware with the help of Altium Ltd. The other half of Aidan’s job involves writing C/C++ and HDL code for custom FPGA-based systems.
Aidan works as a lecturer at Curtin University of Technology in Perth, Western Australia, and is the coordinator for the B.Sc (Astronomy) degree offered there.
In what little time he has for research, Aidan works on the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array project and various other high-time-resolution experiments including a study of the polarisation of Rotating RAdio Transients (RRATs) and the single-pulse properties of the Vela pulsar.
Aidan has an interest in instrument development and occasionally contributes to PSRCHIVE and DSPSR.
