Sky full of stars
Dr Stefan Oslowski
(Postdoctoral research fellow, Swinburne University of Technology)
Do you take the stars for granted? Do you ever stop and wonder about their place in the Universe and their relationship with us? Join us tonight to reflect on stars; where they come from and what will happen to them in the future.
Dr Oslowski completed his PhD at Swinburne University before moving to Germany as a Humboldt fellow. After a few years he returned to Swinburne as a research fellow, funded through the ARC Laureate Fellowship.
