Background

About Samuel Colliver

I am a recent graduate of Curtin University, completing an Honour's Degree in Physics with a focus on Astrophysics. I am fortunate enough to be given opportunities throughout this degree to develop skills in computer science, with units that have allowed me to become familiar with Python, C and Fortran.I completed my bachelor's degree with a distinction and continue my higher education through undertaking Honours and will aim to complete a post graduate research course. I am on track to complete this goal, by receiving four Letters of Commendation recognising high academic performance, awarded by the Dean of Science at Curtin University. I also work at the Gravity Discovery Center, in which I guide tours for a diverse range of audiences. During the day tours I educate varying ages of school groups about crucial discoveries in all fields of physics, whilst night tours allow for me to operate Celestron optical telescopes and describe a wide variety of astrophysical targets. I am passionate about gaining a deeper understanding for the universe around us, as well as developing communication skills to assist in the world of science communication. Email: scolliver1@gmail.com
