Biography

I am studying a part-time PhD at the University of Western Australia in gravitational wave astrophysics, where I am searching for weak gravitational wave signals occurring together with bright flashes of radio signals (fast radio bursts). 

I also work part-time at Curtin University as the ASTRO 3D outreach coordinator, where I manage the outreach activities, website, media, etc for the Epoch of Reionisation research group. 

My first passion is astrophysics and my second passion is talking about it! I love to discuss space with anyone, and if I can help someone understand a difficult concept, or learn one myself, I count that as an amazing day. 


Teresa identifies as neurodiverse.
