Masters Topic (2008): An Ultra-Deep Survey of Low Surface Brightness Galaxies in Virgo. This research utilised an ultra-deep image centred on the core of the Virgo Cluster to discover new LSB galaxies and compare the data with previously published work. Highlights of trip to Gemini North Telescope in Hawai'i, 2006. HWWS and the ASA Annual Science Meeting, 2006 - Photos with friends. Lesa served on the local organising committees for the Harley Wood Winter School 2007 and the Astronomical Society of Australia's Annual Science Meeting 2007. Honours Project (2003): 6dFGS: Quality and Repeatability of Galaxy Survey Observations using Multi-Object Fibre Spectroscopy. This project examined sources of uncertainty in galaxy redshift measurements and assessed criteria for obtaining a reliable redshift. 6dFGS is the 6dF Galaxy Survey. Presentation to the 6dF Galaxy Survey 2003 Workshop. Original Survey Paper and Final Redshift Release available from the 6dF Galaxy Survey.
