"The rate of the development of science is not the rate at which you make observations alone but, much more important, the rate at which you create new things to test."

—Richard Feynman

Working with my supervisors Bryan Gaensler, Ray Norris and Enno Middelberg, my doctoral research in radio astronomy attempts to shed light on the unknown origin of large-scale magnetism in the Universe by developing the framework to attempt the first measurement of magnetic fields in the pristine depths of intergalactic space.

With these future measurements it will be possible to support, constrain, or refute competing theories of magnetogenesis, narrowing the number of viable alternatives or perhaps requiring new theories altogether, thereby enabling astronomers to better understand the role that magnetic fields have played in the evolution of the Universe.
