Curriculum Vitae Personal details: Name: Ian McKellar Stewart. Birthdate: 29 November 1956. Nationality: Australian. Health: Excellent, no disabilities, no history of serious health problems. Marital status: Married. Languages: English, German. Tertiary Education: • BSc (2A Hons), Physics major, University of Western Australia, 1987 • PhD in Physics, University of New England, Australia, 1995 Employment History (in reverse time order): From Jan 2009 University of Cape Town Honorary Research Associate I am continuing to pursue my current research interests in the analysis of radio interfer- ometry data. In connection with this I have lately been invited to contribute to one of the work packages for ALBiUS, a project (the successor to ALBUS, and also headed by ASTRON in the Netherlands) to develop algorithms for interferometry data analysis. I teach a Masters-level course in Computational Astronomy for NASSP. I also currently have two UCT Masters research students, one of whom is working on detection of x-ray transients, the other on parallelisation of some algorithms commonly used in radio inter- ferometry. 2006 - 2008 University of Manchester Research Associate In this period I was employed at the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics (JBCA), a part of the University of Manchester. My position was funded as part of the Radionet ALBUS project, which was intended to create software to process data from the upcoming generation of cm-wavelength radio telescope arrays. My particular brief was to attack those problems caused by the greatly increased bandwidth of such new instruments as e-merlin. In the co
