This month, the AARP is excited to welcome Jacob Yeo, Project Manager, Translation and Impact team at the Curtin Institute of Radio Astronomy (CIRA) and the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) to Brew Hub and Connect!

Jacob Yeo is a Project Manager at CIRA, which constitutes the Curtin University node of ICRAR. He supports the planning, coordination and delivery of strategic industry-led research and infrastructure initiatives. Jacob works closely with researchers, industry partners and other stakeholders to ensure effective project governance and execution in translating project objectives into successful outcomes.

Jacob will be joined by representatives from CIRA’s Engineering team to showcase how we are translating astronomy-based capabilities into other domains.

The event will include networking in the Breakout Space, a short presentation in the Auditorium on CIRA’s work and activities at the AARP, followed by a walk to the Heavy Zone test bed for a demonstration/showcase of their equipment.

Attendees will then return to AARP HQ for further networking and morning tea, with an optional HQ facility tour at the conclusion. CORE Start members will also be attending the event.
