I am originally from Cape Town, South Africa and that is where I did my Undergraduate and Honours degrees in Astrophysics. I am doing my PhD with Prof. Duncan Forbes here at Swinburne. I'm researching what the current structure of GC (Globular Cluster) systems in giant elliptical galaxies tell us about the formation of the GCs and the galaxies they are situated in. We can glean a remarkable amount of information from the spatial distribution, sizes, subpopulations, metallicity and kinematics of GC systems . My thesis is currently focussed on one very special galaxy, NGC 4365.
