More than just telescopes!

Join us in SB11 on 30th November at 4.15 pm for an interactive talk for students on Understanding the Universe – The Astrophysicist’s Toolkit by Dr Robert Ferdman, Associate Professor in Physics from UEA.

 

Dr Robert will discuss the variety of tools, and skills astrophysicists rely on to acquire, process, and analyse observational data, as well as to predict and interpret results in the context of fundamental physical principles. As well as modern telescopes and the physics applied, Robert will take a look at the computational tools required for rapid calculations to tackle massive volumes of data and large-scale theoretical simulations.
