Jasmine Anderson-Baldwin
- PhD Student
- Swinburne University of Technology
My background is in Physics. I hold a Bachelor of Science majoring in Physics and Mathematics as well as Honours and Masters degrees specialising in Physics. My dissertation and thesis projects for my Honours and Masters degrees were both related to astronomy and astrophysics. My Honours project was concerned with a search for minor planets in archival survey data. My Masters project was concerned with the impact of satellite constellations on Southern optical observatories. As well as my research projects I took several astrophysics-related courses, including stellar evolution and celestial mechanics.
During my Honours and Masters projects I developed skills in working with astronomical data including using Python libraries like Astropy and Pandas and handling FITS files. I also planned and performed observing runs including scheduling exposures and operating the telescope. For my PhD I have switched to stellar dynamics as I have an interest in it as well as stellar evolution. I have learned and am still learning more skills such as using the OzSTAR supercomputer which enable me to do the work required for my project.
Throughout my previous degrees I have demonstrated that I am capable of learning new skills as I need them for my research, and I bring this capability to my OzGrav work.
