I attend the HSC Survey’s all-collaboration meeting at ASIAA in Taiwan and give a talk on the progress of the CLAUDS project. Good to see great talks from all participants and to hear about the progress the HSC Survey’s making in acquiring its data.
As of today all of JWST’s mirror segments have now been installed. See NASA press release here. On schedule for October 2018 launch less than three years away now!
Nathalie Thibert, who will be joining our research group this September, wins the prestigious Canada Graduate Scholarship. Well done Nathalie! And looking forward to your arrival in Halifax.
Anneya and I attend the HSC Survey project meeting at IPMU in Kashiwa-no-ha near Tokyo. We give a total of four (!) talks between us, updating folks on the progress of the CLAUDS survey; we also make a lot of connections to develop joint science exploitation projects with our HSC colleagues and eat a lot of sushi in the process. Nota bene: the CLAUDS survey is going great, with >90% of the data in hand now and science verification (number counts, photometric redshifts, galaxy stellar mass functions) showing the data quality is awesome.
2016 September 1: Welcome Nathalie and Thibaud
Today our research group welcomes two new members: Ms. Nathalie Tibert and Dr. Thibaud Moutard. Nathalie comes to us from the University of Western Ontario and is starting her MSc studies. Thibaud recently got his PhD from LAM in Marseille and is joining the group as a post-doc. Both Nathalie and Thibaud will be working on the CLAUDS+HSC data. Good to have you with us, Nathalie and Thibaud!
2016 December 21: Postdoctoral position for CLAUDS+HSC Surveys and JWST Guaranteed Time Observations
We are looking for a post-doctoral fellow to join our group. The fellow will be involved in two projects: (1) the scientific exploitation of the CLAUDS+HSC Surveys and (2) preparation for Guaranteed Time Observations with the JWST NIRISS slitless spectrograph. The full text of the job ad can be seen on the AAS Job Register starting January 1st and applications can be submitted by email to me February 1st.
My friend, colleague, and CLAUDS co-PI Stephane Arnouts visits Halifax! Lost of good science interactions with all group members (Anneya, Thibaud, Liz, Gurpreet). Plus a trip to Peggy’s cove (see picture).
