When Galaxies Collide

In this talk, I will describe the cataclysmic events that can occur when galaxies collide including radiant bursts of star form ation, coalescence of supermassive black holes and the ignition of dragon-l ike active galactic nuclei launching jets of plasma at close to the speed o f light. I will also describe my latest research project to ‘weigh&rs quo; a supermassive black hole using the Australian Square Kilometre A rray Pathfinder telescope.
