Compact and Extended Radio Sources Classification using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks
Upcoming surveys with new radio observatories such as the Square Kilometer Array will generate a wealth of imaging data containing large numbers of radio sources. Different classes of radio sources can be used as tracers of the cosmic environment, including the dark matter density field, to address …

A statistical approach to automated detection of multi-component radio sources
Advances in radio astronomy are allowing for deeper and wider areas of the sky to be observed than ever before. Source counts of future radio surveys are expected to number in the tens of millions. Source finding techniques are used to identify sources in a radio image, however, these techniques …

The faint low-frequency radio universe in continuum: exploitation of the pre-SKA deepest survey
… and significant work on the properties of radio sources as derived from deep 610-MHz GMRT data and ancillary multi-wavelength data. The faint radio sources at 610-MHz are found out to distances such that the objects are seen as they were when the universe was less than half its current age. …

Radio Frequency Interference: Simulations for Radio Interferometry Arrays
Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) is a massive problem for radio observatories around the world. Due to the growth of telecommunications and air travel RFI is increasing exactly when the world's radio telescopes are increasing significantly in sensitivity, making RFI one of the most pressing …

New optical surveys for gravitationally lensed quasars
This thesis describes four new optical surveys for gravitationally lensed quasars. The goal of this work has been to (1) explore new strategies for conducting optical surveys, especially in the southern hemisphere, in the hopes of "fine-tuning" the survey techniques toward finding systems of …

Initial exploration of 21-cm cosmology with imaging and power spectra from the Murchison Widefield Array
… Widefield Array (MWA) is a new low-frequency radio array under construction in Western Australia with a primary goal of measuring the power spectrum of the 21-cm signal from neutral hydrogen during the Epoch of Reionization (EoR). In this thesis, we detail efforts to characterize the MWA …

First MeerKAT HI survey results mapping large scale structures hidden behind the Milky Way out to z = 0.08
… ASKAP and MeerKAT) are performing large HI surveys, surpassing previous-generation radio surveys in angular resolution, volume, and depth — going nearly two orders of magnitude deeper. The vast amount of data being produced by these telescopes creates a need for new tools and techniques, …

Core-collapse supernovae in the great survey era
… class of wide-field, repeated-scan optical sky surveys, such as LSST, is coming online, and will map the sky in the time domain with unprecedented depth, completeness, and dynamic range. A main science goal of LSST is to detect Type Ia supernovae, but the survey will also revolutionize our …

Statistical properties of Radio Halos and the re-acceleration model
… which is heated up to the observed temperature. Radio and hard-X ray observations have discovered non-thermal components mixed with the thermal Intra Cluster Medium (ICM) and this is of great importance as it calls for a “revision” of the physics of the ICM. The bulk of present information comes …
