Brief description Galaxy formation and femtosecond frequency combs. I bring galaxy observations from already-scheduled European time on\r\nmajor international telescopes and I will add significant value to\r\nlarge US datasets. The scientific return will accrue to Australian\r\nresearchers. I bring strong collaborations with the UK, USA, Europe\r\nand Canada, providing galaxy data which Australia cannot otherwise\r\naccess. I will establish a new knowledge-base in Australia by applying\r\nfemtosecond frequency comb technology to astronomy. This will cement\r\nAustralian involvment in future telescopes. New technology for\r\nAustralian telescopes, commercial and industry links are also\r\npossible. Student training is a main focus, providing a future for\r\nAustralian research and skills transferable to industry.
