Hello everyone 👋 I'm Mars (@TheMartianLife) and I am your host for this week.
A quick intro: I am a PhD candidate at @UTAS_/@CSIRO working on using Machine Learning to improve tracking precision and reliability for satellites and space debris.

Before this, I had never worked in space before (though I was a BIG enthusiast); I actually came from computer science, where I have worked on ML for a range of other domains.
Needless to say, I am very excited to be able to combine the two. And for such an important issue 📡~🛰

And I'm from Tasmania. Over here at UTC+10 and down here at 42°S it's just gone 6am Sunday and it is still pitch black as we're coming into our short Winter days.
...so forgive me if I start a bit slow this morning 😆

And I have been reliably informed that I am in fact the first Tasmanian to take the helm here at PoS and so you can expect lots of content celebrating this beautiful island I call home, which has a long and ~often overlooked~ history of all walks of astronomy.
