Biography
Teresa was the Outreach Coordinator for ASTRO 3D's Curtin University node, where she created opportunities for the Curtin astronomers to talk about their research beyond academia, and invented activities and resources to help them do that. Teresa is most proud of, and most known within ASTRO 3D for, her "Epoch of Bubbles" activity, which uses simple soap bubbles and food dye as an analogy for the environment around the first stars and galaxies that formed in the Universe, during the Epoch of Reionisation. Teresa has a honours degree in astrophysics from Curtin University, and is currently pursuing a PhD in gravitational wave and radio wave astrophysics at the University of Western Australia, with the other astronomy ARC centre of excellence, OzGrav. Teresa loves everything space, and thoroughly loves talking about it to anyone who will listen. Luckily, most people have a passion for space, so willing listeners are easy to find. She has over a decade's worth of science communication experience, all borne on the back of her enthusiasm for talking about space.
