Honorary Fellow at University of Melbourne and Senior Curator (Astronomy), Museums Victoria Research Institute

I am an extragalactic astronomer, Honorary Fellow of the University of Melbourne, and am currently working in the field of science communication at Melbourne Planetarium.

I joined the Melbourne Planetarium at Scienceworks in 1999, drawing on my background in research astronomy to create more than a dozen planetarium productions. The most recent of these are now screened in over fifty planetariums across sixteen countries world-wide.
