معرفی
James Miller-Jones is a Professor in the School of Elec Eng, Comp and Math Sci at Curtin University, within the Faculty of Science and Engineering. He holds the position of Science Director at the Curtin Institute of Radio Astronomy and leads the Accretion Physics and Slow Transients project at ICRAR. His research focuses on jet dynamics, accretion physics, and X-ray binaries, with notable contributions to black hole and neutron star studies. Miller-Jones completed his MPhys and DPhil at the University of Oxford, followed by research roles in the Netherlands and USA before joining Curtin in 2010.
Education:
- MPhys (Oxon)
- DPhil (Oxon)
Research Interests:
Miller-Jones specializes in jet launching mechanisms around accreting compact objects, including Galactic X-ray binaries and ultraluminous X-ray sources. His work explores tidal disruption events, radio transients, and black hole natal kicks. Recent projects include studying relativistic jets in microquasars and analyzing multiwavelength data from facilities like MeerKAT and the VLA.
Key Achievements:
- Received 2021 Faculty Researcher of the Year Award
- ARC Future Fellowship (2014-2018)
- Lead author on groundbreaking studies of Cygnus X-1 and V404 Cygni
Labs/Teams:
He directs the Curtin Institute of Radio Astronomy and collaborates with international teams like ICRAR and the SKA Transient Science Working Group.
