Cees Bassa

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics, working on the Large European Array for Pulsars (LEAP) project.

Research Interests

I am interested in high precision timing of pulsars to constrain the gravitational wave background. As part of the European Pulsar Timing Array I am involved in the LEAP project; developing the framework for using the large European radio telescopes as a phased array.
Furthermore, I am interested in binaries containing compact objects such as pulsars and white dwarfs. Using multiwavelength observations I try to study these objects.
