Assoc Prof Michael Brown: The James Webb Space Telescope and the Galaxies
Michael is an observational astronomer whose research interests include the evolution of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and the growth of galaxies over cosmic time. This research is undertaken in collaboration with Monash University PhD students, postdoctoral fellows and colleagues from around the world. Michael is best known for his measurements of galaxy growth over cosmic time and how galaxies populate dark matter halos.
Michael is a passionate and effective communicator who is interested in a broad range of astronomy, science philosophy and science policy topics, including Australia’s role in global space research and discovery.
He is a family man and has managed to transfer school run responsibilities for their children to Mrs Brown in order to present to us. We thank them all.
