2013-2017Manisha Caleb
Manisha found the first ever FRBs with a telescope array and first determination of the FRB rate at 843 MHz. She is now at the University of Manchester, working on the MeerKAT FRB search project.

Fabian Jankowski
Fabian developed the UTMOST pulsar timing program from scratch to the regular timing of more than 400 pulsars during his PhD. Fabian is now at the University of Manchester, working on the MeerKAT FRB search project.

Shivani Bhandari
Shivani did extensive multiwavelength/ multimessenger followup of FRBs at Parkes and at UTMOST, and published a revised rate for FRBs at 1.4 GHz from the SUPERB survey. She is now at CSIRO Marsfield, working on the ASKAP/CRAFT’s FRB localisation program.

Vivek Venkatraman Krishnan
Vivek built a state-of-the-art real-time pulsar search program running for the first time ever on a radio telescope array. He used it to time some particular interesting pulsars for new tests of General Relativity. Vivek is now working at MPI/Bonn on pulsars and GR.

Wael Farah
Wael built the world’s first machine-learning based, automated FRB triggering program and used it to obtain remarkable time and frequency resolution of his FRBs. His system revealed hitherto unsuspected structure in FRBs in time and frequency. Expected completion early-2020, he has accepted a job with the Allen Array / SETI Institute.

Cherie Day
Cherie is designing the antenna/LNA detection system for UTMOST-2D, an improvement which will bring host galaxy localisation to our FRB science.
2017-
Vivek Gupta
Vivek is working on the UTMOST-2D development, including the localisation of pulsar pulses, the injection of mock FRBs into our pipelines, automated triggering of FRBs to external facilities, and FRB detections with UTMOST-2D
2018-
Marcus Lower
Marcus is operating the UTMOST pulsar timing program — and has extended its regular automated timing to more than 400 pulsars every few weeks. He is interested in the pulsar population properties as revealed by timing, and pulse structure in magnetars.

Ayushi Mandlik
Ayushi is working on machine learning algorithms for live FRB detection.
