Staff and Funding
|
The construction and commissioning of SUSI have been funded jointly by the Australian Research Council (ARC) and the University of Sydney, with additional support from the Pollock Memorial Fund and the Science Foundation for Physics within the University of Sydney.
From January 2008, principal responsibilty for SUSI will rest with the director Dr Gordon Robertson and the leadership team of Dr. Peter Tuthill, Dr. Michael Ireland and through a collaboration with the CHARA interferometer, Dr. Theo ten Brummelaar. Historically, responsibility has rested with Prof. John Davis and Dr Bill Tango, who are still active members of the SUSI group. The program grew out of the interferometry program begun in Sydney by Professor Robert Hanbury Brown.
Many staff and students have contributed to the SUSI program over many years. Still active members of the collaboration are listed in italics.
