I am a
postdoctoral fellow in astronomy at the School of Physics A28,
University of Sydney, Australia. You can contact me at this e-mail address: bruntt

Research
My
research falls in two
categories:
(1) Asteroseimology
based on photometric or spectroscopic
measurements from either
ground-based observatories or from satellites (WIRE and SMEI).
(2) Abundance
analysis
of absorbtion lines in stellar spectra. I have developed the IDL suite
of widget programs called VWA.
A list
of reviewed publications is
available through ADS.
Career
In
1992 I started my natural science studies at the University of Aarhus
in Denmark. In
1996 I went on my first trip to ESO
in
Chile and from this point I became a decicated
researcher.
In 1999 my master's
thesis was given the highest
grade possible (only two people at the department of astronomy have
achieved this
in 10 years from 1995-2005). I went on to
become a Ph.D.
of astrophysics in April
2003.
I started working with Derek L. Buzasi at USAFA, CO, USA on the
analysis of data from
the WIRE
satellite (more info here). During 2004
I stayed at USAFA for five months
and in
January 2005 I moved to Copenhagen
to collaborate with J. V.
Clausen
on the abundance
analysis of binary stars. In February 2006
I moved to Sydney where worked with Tim Bedding as a
postdoctoral researcher. From February 2009 I will be working with the
CoRoT team at the Observatory of Paris in France (LESIA).
