The Telegraphic | The home website of Danny Price, Oxford

Welcome

Welcome to The Telegraphic: the online home of Danny Price. I'm an astrophysicist hailing from Perth, Western Australia. I'm doing my DPhil at the University of Oxford, where I'm researching aperture arrays for the Square Kilometre Array. My research interests are: radio astronomy instrumentation, digital signal processing, microwave engineering, aperture array design, and the epoch of reionisation. A list of my publications is available here. In my spare time I make music and websites. I'm also fond of linguistics, languages and Ju Jitsu.

Web Portfolio

I occasionally manage to get some time to play with websites. A lot have been lost in the sands of time, but here's a few that are alive and kicking.

Publications

There have been a few projects throughout my academic career that I'm particularly proud of. From a Bundu Dusun sketch grammar to my Honours thesis, a list of my publications is available here.

Weblog

There's a lot of information out there, and occasionally I feel the need to share something I've come across. You can find my musings, rants and words of advice in my weblog.

Web Design

Whilst doing my undergraduate, I worked as a web designer, with a few good friends. They've gone on to become a photographer and ruby on rails developer. Doing a DPhil has eaten up a lot of my webdev time, but I still occasionally get the opportunity to make a site or two. I'm a big fan of MVC frameworks such as CakePHP, and have been getting increasingly interested in python powered websites. You can have a look at my portfolio if you wish.

Physics

In my undergraduate at UWA, I did a double degree in Arts and Science, with honours in Physics. I'm currently doing a DPhil in Astrophysics at the Univeristy of Oxford. I'm working on a project called the SKA, a huge telescope that will be built in either South Africa or Western Australia. I'm also interested in opto-mechanics, which I studied in my honours. I'll join with my supervisor to predict that a Nobel prize will be awarded to an "opto-mechanist" in the next few years. You can find my publications here.

Music

Here lies Penelope, she who stood too close to the melting pot.
