The Swinburne Pulsar Group is part of the Centre for Astrophysics and Supercomputing, hosted by the Faculty of ICT at the Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia. We are actively involved in the research and development of new technologies that enable the discovery, timing and exploration of the radio Universe on the shortest timescales. Together with our colleagues at Caltech, Berkeley and the Australia Telescope we have developed several generations of instrumentation for precision pulsar timing that involve custom FPGA-based hardware and large supercomputing clusters. Our software instruments are used in many institutes around the world for both pulsar and VLBI research.
