Vanessa Moss

Dr. Vanessa Moss is an Adjunct Professor at the School of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science, University of Queensland. Her research focuses on radio astronomy, astrophysics, and collaborative science practices. She is actively involved in large observational projects like ASKAP and Apertif, contributing to surveys of galactic structures, transient phenomena, and HI absorption studies.

Key research interests include radio surveys (e.g., RACS), fast radio bursts (FRBs), and advancing accessible conference formats. Her work bridges observational astronomy with data analysis, emphasizing sustainability and inclusivity in global scientific collaboration.

Publications highlight her contributions to radio galaxy studies, interstellar medium dynamics, and technological advancements in radio telescopes. She has co-authored over 80 peer-reviewed articles, focusing on cosmological surveys, HI absorption in AGN, and multi-wavelength astronomy.

Dr. Moss has pioneered efforts to digitize conferences, such as the virtual ICWIP 2021, and contributed to initiatives like Astronomers for Planet Earth to reduce the carbon footprint of astronomy. She collaborates internationally with institutions like the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT) and the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP).
