The CSIRO Student Program is a competitive initiative by the CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency. The program supports a small number of early-career researchers whose work aligns closely with CSIRO’s scientific priorities and who actively contribute to collaborative research with CSIRO teams.
Within project A2 of our CRC, Sam focuses on the role of magnetic fields in dwarf galaxies and the transport of cosmic rays.
As part of the CSIRO Student program, Sam will return to Perth in November 2025 for a one-month research visit, deepening the scientific collaboration and highlighting the growing ties between the SFB and CSIRO.
He will work directly with Tim Galvin, Alec Thomson, and George Heald on joint modeling approaches and data interpretation, laying the groundwork for future shared initiatives.

We congratulate our CRC Spokesperson Julia Tjus on her election into the Senate of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - German Research Foundation!
The Senate is the central scientific body that advises on all matters of fundamental importance to the DFG and, in many cases, also makes decisions.

We are pleased to invite you to the public lecture “Die Geburt stellarer Monster - Über die Entstehung der massereichsten Sterne im Universum " (in German).
In his talk, Rolf Kuiper will explore how the most massive stars in the cosmos are formed, which are rare in number, but extremely bright. He will connect the latest insights from astrophysical simulations with brand-new observations of young, massive star-forming regions that have only recently become accessible.
