Liroy Lourenço

I'm a communications engineer in the Signal Processing Technologies group at CSIRO Space & Astronomy, and I hold a PhD from the University of Sydney. My work is in radio frequency interference (RFI) management for radio telescopes.

It spans two sides of the same problem. Before interference reaches the telescope, I help shape the spectrum environment — representing radio astronomy in international regulatory forums at the ITU-R (Working Party 7D) and toward WRC-27. Once it does, I build the monitoring and mitigation capability to keep doing science through it — adaptive beamforming and RFI characterisation with Phased Array Feeds on the Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP).

I have a background in network engineering, digital music technology, and as an educator.
