CATEGORIES:Guest Speaker Night

SUMMARY:Guest Speaker - Dr Maria Cunningham (UNSW)
DESCRIPTION:Understanding Star Formation in the Age of “Big Data” and “Software Telesco
 pes”Star formation in the Milky Way and other Galaxies is governed by the i
 nterplay between gravity, turbulence, and magnetic fields. However, we stil
 l do not have a good understanding of how stars form, and how they influenc
 e, and are influenced by, their local environment. \nIn this talk I will de
 scribe why understanding star formation is important for understanding the 
 evolution of the Universe – massive stars drive the evolution of galaxies, 
 which are the building blocks of the Universe – and how both large numbers 
 of astrophysical observations combined with computer modelling can help us 
 understand star formation.\nThis talk will emphasise the role of observatio
 ns of molecules in space for understanding star formation, including unders
 tanding how complex molecules may be delivered to the surface of newly form
 ed planets by comets and meteorites, seeding life.\nDr Maria Cunninghamis S
 enior Lecturer in Astrophysics at the Universtity of New South Walres\nHer 
 research interests are in radio, millimetre and sub-millimetre astronomy, m
 olecular line astronomy, bioastronomy and computational astrophysics.\nDr C
 unningham is currently working on several projects, including:\n\n - Detect
 ing new complex organic molecules in space, and hopefully finding some of t
 he building blocks of life;\n - Using very complex organic molecules to put
  an evolutionary sequence on the formation of stars;\n - Determining how th
 e structure of the Milky Galaxy affect the formation of stars,...In 2015 UN
 SW’s Postgraduate Council awarded Dr Maria Cunningham the "Outstanding Exce
 llence in Postgraduate Research Supervision Award".\n
