James Freeburn

Introduction

As a PhD candidate at Swinburne University of Technology, I study Gamma-ray Burst afterglows and fast transients, striving to understand the most energetic events in the universe.

A significant part of my research comprises work with the Deeper, Wider, Faster (DWF) Programme. DWF seeks to discover fast transients by employing simultaneous multi-wavelength observations and real-time data analysis.

You can find my CV here.
