PhD Researcher: Advanced Signal Processing for Radio Astronomy
2 months ago
This PhD research position focuses on developing a processing pipeline for multi-element phased array feeds used in radio astronomy, leveraging commodity computation on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). Phased array feeds can generate numerous independent beams to observe a wide field of view with high sensitivity. During digital beamforming, they can undertake enhanced signal analysis, which is not possible with non-phased array systems. By employing high-performance signal processors such as GPUs, crucial tasks like detecting and removing radio frequency interference and identifying astronomical signals (e.g., pulsars and fast radio bursts) can be undertaken in real-time, despite the enormous data rates involved.
About the ProjectThe successful applicant will collaborate closely with two partner organizations, CSIRO Astronomy & Space Science, and Fourier Space Pty Ltd, to drive groundbreaking research in this field. Phased array feeds play a crucial role in both astronomy and space sciences, making the potential impact of these advancements significant.
About YouTo be successful in this role, you will have:
- A Bachelor Degree (Science or Engineering)
- Honours or Masters in astronomy, astrophysics, software engineering, or a related field, or equivalent industry experience
- Knowledge of software engineering techniques and familiarity with modern scientific computing capable of handling high volumes and rates of data
- Demonstrated high standards of interpersonal and communication skills, including the ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a multi-disciplinary environment
Swinburne Horizon 2025 draws upon our understanding of future challenges. With this new strategic plan, we choose to build Swinburne as the prototype of a new and different university – one that is truly of Technology, of Innovation and of Entrepreneurship, and proud of it. We are committed to a differentiated university proposition in education and research, so that:
- Every Swinburne learner gets a work experience
- Every Swinburne graduate gets a job
- Every Swinburne partner gets a tech solution
- Swinburne is the prototype of global best practice
The achievement of our 2025 moon shots depends on our capacity to work collectively, always, as One Swinburne.
