Dr Alan Duffy
Dr Alan Duffy is a computational astrophysicist at Swinburne University of Technology creating baby universes on supercomputers to understand how galaxies like our Milky Way form and grow within vast halos of invisible dark matter. When not exploring simulated universes Alan lectures in physics as well as science communication at Swinburne University. Every fortnight Alan tries to explain breaking science on his space segment with ABC Breakfast News TV, ABC Radio Melbourne with Clare Bowditch and is a regular on Ten’s The Project.
Dr Katherine (Katie) Mack
Dr Katie Mack is a theoretical astrophysicist.
