Scholar-generated biography
Benjamin Courtney-Barrer is a researcher at the Australian National University with expertise in Adaptive Optics, Interferometry, and Evolved Stars. His work focuses on advancing observational techniques for high-resolution infrared imaging and spectroscopy, particularly through projects like CRIRES+, GRAVITY+, and Asgard. These projects aim to enhance the sensitivity and contrast of interferometric observations at the Very Large Telescope (VLTI), enabling studies of faint astronomical objects and dynamic processes in evolved stars. His research contributes to understanding the physical mechanisms of stellar evolution and the detection of exoplanets through high-contrast imaging and nulling interferometry.
