Rob Beswick's Homepage
Hello and welcome to my web-pages.
I am currently a research scientist working for e-MERLIN, VLBI, and the UK's ALMA Regional Centre based at the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics and Jodrell Bank Observatory, which are part of The University of Manchester's Department of Physics and Astronomy.
My current PDRA, Melanie Gendre, now edits the Active Galaxies Newsletter, which is a monthly electronic newsletter serving researchers in the broad area of active galaxies. Currently the newsletter has over 600 active subscribers and is available via email or the web. For more information see the newsletter website or email agnews(at)manchester.ac.uk.
I am PI (along with Ian McHardy, Southampton) of the e-MERLIN Legacy project, Legacy e-MERLIN Multi-band imaging of Nearby Galaxies (LeMMINGS), which has been granted a total of 810hrs of e-MERLIN time and is due to start observations in early 2012. This programme will image 300 nearby galaxies with sub-arcsecond resolutions and microJansky sensitivities.
