Meet Dr Natasha Hurley-Walker! Natasha is a radio astronomer at the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research. K-Z : Hi Natasha! How would you explain your job as a radio astronomer? N: I helped build a radio telescope out in the Murchison region of Western Australia. Using supercomputers, I process the telescope’s data and turn it into beautiful images of our universe.

I share the images with my fellow astronomers, so we can work out the history of the universe, and the amazing things that happen out in space. K-Z : What experience or education did you have before this role? N: When I…
