mortar board hat Tertiary Education

Postgraduate

Completing PhD at the Australian National University in the Ultraviolet (UV) Physics Group (started March 1995). Joint project with Laser Physics Centre and Atomic and Molecular Laboratories.

Topic: I am using the non-linear optical technique of four-wave mixing with lasers to generate vacuum-ultraviolet radiation. This radiation is used for spectroscopic studies of the Schumann-Runge bands of molecular oxygen in unprecedented detail. I am particularly interested in perturbations in the absorption lines, indicating the presence of previously unobserved states. The work is of interest from a basic physics viewpoint, but also is vitally important for an understanding of how ozone is formed in the atmosphere.

Supervisors: Dr. Brenton Lewis , Dr. Ken Baldwin, Dr. Steve Gibson.
Advisor: Dr. Julian England.

laboratory aparatus Previous Work Experience

CSIRO

March 1992--Feb 1995
Employed as an Experimental Scientist at the CSIRO Division of Wool Technology. The work involved a comprehensive study of the physics of a particular kind of shrinkage in knitted wool fabrics. An outcome of this work was the development of a new technique for preventing shrinkage in lightweight knitted wool fabrics. The novel approach taken also enabled new types of fabrics to be developed.

Also supervised students in the CSIRO Student Research Scheme and for work experience, and participated in many activities promoting CSIRO and science to the general community (eg. Sheep and Wool show stand, Women in Science talks to school groups, open day activities)

University of Adelaide

Vacation work: December 1991--February 1992
Employed by the Atmospheric Physics Group (in conjunction with Monash University): Launching meteorological balloons to track atmospheric boundary layer waves. Also employed by the High Energy Astrophysics Group: Writing data analysis programs in Turbo Pascal, and involved with data collection field work on the "BIGRAT" Gamma-ray Telescope, Woomera.

Monash University

1991.
Employed as a Demonstrator in the First Year Physics Laboratories. Work also involved marking of student laboratory reports.

ANZ Bank

December 1988--August 1989.
Employed as a computer programmer: involved with programming of data entry packages in COBOL.
