UTMOST is very pleased to welcome new PhD student, Manisha Caleb, from the ANU, who will work on FRBs detection at Molonglo with UTMOST. She will also undertake single pulse polarisation studies of RRATs at Parkes, a method that may be directly applied to the FRBs to measure the intergalactic magnetic field for the very first time.

Manisha comes to us after doing an MSc. in Spacecraft Technology and Satellite Communications at University College London.

Manisha’s PhD is being supervised by Matthew Bailes and Chris Flynn and Swinburne, and Frank Briggs and Brian Schmidt at the ANU.
