Dr Andrew Hughes

I am a postdoctoral research assistant and radio astronomer focusing on time-domain studies of the high-energy Universe. While I am interested in a broad range of radio transients, I primarily study astrophysical jets powered by accretion onto black holes and neutron stars. Additionally, and more recently, I am also using time-domain radio observations to identify and monitor the counterparts of very high-energy astrophysical neutrinos. Due to the nature of my research, I regularly use radio interferometers like MeerKAT and the Very Large Array, and I have focused on polarimetric observations. As a result, I am keenly interested in improving our calibration and imaging techniques to ensure we maximize the science extracted from each observation.
