Personal profile
Research interests
I am a Professor in the School of Physics and Astronomy, and the current Head of the Monash Astrophysics group. I am interested in a number of topics under the broad heading of gravitational astrophysics, although I have a particular penchant for gravitational-wave astrophysics.
