Michael Brown is an observational astronomer and associate professor  at Monash University in Melbourne. He researchers how galaxies grow in mass and form new stars over billions of years. He also studies active galactic nuclei - very luminous objects powered by the infall of matter towards blackholes - trying to understand why only some galaxies harbour these unusual objects. For his research he uses satellites and large ground-based telescopes, including the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder located in the Western Australian desert.
