As part of the QUT Astrophysics Research Group’s outreach efforts, research student Vanessa Porchet was pleased to support a monthly meeting of the Astronomical Association of Queensland.
Vanessa discussed how astronomers use computational approaches to decompose the light of galaxies and derive key properties to better understand galaxy evolution. The event provided an opportunity to share insight into upcoming large surveys and the focus of the research team, while also engaging with the AAQ community and sparking discussions about opportunities to pursue astrophysics locally.
