From the University of Melbourne he received a BSc in 1934, an MSc in 1935 and a DSc in 1953. In 1980 he was awarded a DScEng from the University of Sydney. After graduating with his MSc he was a physicist at the Commonwealth X-ray and Radium Laboratory in Sydney for two years. In 1937 he became a research engineer at Amalgamated Wireless (Australasia) Ltd (AWA). In 1948 he moved to the CSIRO Division of Radiophysics where he worked until 1960. He began his work in radioastronomy by investigating the quiet sun. To study solar radiation, he developed a new type of aerial array known as a grating interferometer. In 1953, by adding a second array of aerials at right angles to the original array, he was able to scan the sun in two dimensions. He developed the innovative cross-type radio telescope, known as the Chris Cross, which was completed at CSIRO's Fleurs field station near Sydney in 1957. Christiansen became Professor and Head of the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Sydney in 1960, a position he held until 1978. In 1963 the CSIRO handed over the Fleurs field station and its radio telescopes to his department. He retired in 1979 and moved to Canberra where he was a Visiting Fellow at the Mt Stromlo Observatory of the Australian National University until 1983. اللغةEnglish وثيقة خارجية professor-chris-christiansen-1913 كلمات مفتاحية في أسماء الأشخاص Chris Christiansen الموضوعMt Stromlo, Radio, Solar radiation, Science--History, Science--Social aspects Conditions governing accessThe Australian Academy of Science supports and encourages the use of its archive & library by making a material available to the public under Creative Commons CC BY-NC 4.0 see creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ مستوى الوصفItem متصفح هرمي MS240 Conversations with Australian Scientists 1995-currentرصيد [ar-SA]contains[ar-SA] 152 [ar-SA]part(s)[ar-SA] 240000030 Professor Chris Christiansen interview Item
