Episode 18: Professor Matthew Bailes: A Cosmic Journey with the The Swinburne Professional Staff Podcast
No full textWelcome to Podcast Professionals with Kristy and Ash! In our latest episode and first for 2024, we explore the world of astrophysics with Professor Matthew Bailes.
Matthew is an astrophysicist specialising in radio astronomy and gravitational waves with a focus on relativistic astrophysics. A former ARC Laureate Fellow, he is a member of the Australian Academy of Sciences and was honoured as a 2023 Shaw Laureate for the discovery of Fast Radio Bursts.
His contributions extend to leadership roles at Swinburne University of Technology, where he has served as Pro-Vice Chancellor (Research) and acted as DVC (Research) on two occasions. Notably, Professor Bailes has played pivotal roles in securing success in three ARC Centre of Excellence bids. As a Theme Leader for CAASTRO and Director of OzGrav, the ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery, he continues to shape groundbreaking research in the field.
Also joining us is Diana Haikal, Senior Communications and Engagement Advisor, for OzGrav and not to mention an amazing professional staff member and also a children's author!
We learn about the upcoming brand refresh at OzGrav which is a significant event slated for April and funding has just been secured for another 7 years. Additionally, Matthew discusses the yet to be launched Digital Experience Room, an innovative initiative poised to transform our engagement with astrophysics. We'll also touch on the launch of OzGrav 2.0 and the UIIN Symposium at Swinburne, happening April 17th to 19th, generating buzz within the astrophysics community.
Join us for an enlightening conversation as we delve into Professor Bailes' impactful journey, the latest developments at OzGrav, plus, learn about Professor Bailes' passion for cycling and the Three Peaks One Day Cycling Challenge in Victorian High Country and stay tuned for the launch of the new Podcast Rating System "SIGMA"
