Robert A. Main, PhD
I am research associate at the Department of Physics and Trottier Space Institute at McGill University. My main research interests are in pulsars and fast radio bursts, how to use them as a probe of intervening plasma, and in turn, use that plasma as a tool for precision measurements of the source's emission and dynamics.
On the quest to discover many new pulsars, I am currently leading 'CHAMPSS' - the CHIME All-sky Multiday Stack Search - which will piggyback CHIME/FRB to do a full-sky search for pulsars in the north.
