My Courses:

I created and ran three courses on cosmology at the Central Coast Community College, University of Newcastle campus in Ourimbah, NSW. These courses ran for a full year in 2013-2014.

  • ‘Our Universe – Introduction’ – introduction to basic concepts and an overview of the concordance model.
  • ‘Our Universe – Intermediate’  – expanding on the first course, using high school mathematics.
  • ‘Our Universe – Advanced’ – expanding with a non-tensor mathematical analysis of Einstein’s relativity.

Research Interests:

My area of interest is Special and General Relativity and its relationship with Cosmology and time. I like Astronomy in general and theoretical physics; combining these subjects takes up most of my academic study time. Special Relativity and unified theories, including string theory, are also on the list. I am a bit of an Einstein buff, and I also enjoy reading about Einstein’s work.

Biographical Sketch:

My name is Estelle Asmodelle. I am a professional artist and scientist. I have been painting all my life and have exhibited in many countries and galleries around the world. You can see more of my art at Abstract Artist. I was born 50 years to the day of Robert Oppenheimer’s birth and 230 years to the day of Immanuel Kant’s birth. It seems rather auspicious, considering my areas of interest.

In my early academic life, I studied toward a B.Sc. (Physics), then transferred two years later to a B.Math (Computing Science). My passion for relativity and cosmology was first sparked in these early student days.

In the past, I’ve also been a director of two other technology companies in Australia and have been actively involved in the research and development of innovative technologies as a designer and inventor. I’ve worked with computers most of my life, have designed automated systems, and have published over a dozen patents and articles in technology publications in robotics and machine control systems. I have had to deal with many academics at various universities within Australia regarding the systems I’ve designed and consulted with professors in electrical and mechanical engineering and some physics departments.

More recently, since 2008, I’ve returned to university and continued my passion for astronomy and cosmology. I am working towards a B.Sc. (Hons.) in Astronomy with the University of Central Lancashire, UCLAN, in the UK. I am active in writing about astrophysics and relativity and am a student member of the Institute of Physics (UK) and a student member of the Australasian Society for General Relativity and Gravitation (Aust.) I have written for Cosmos magazine (Australia) and have also written feature articles for the Journal of the Institute of Science and Technology in the UK, about astrophysics and relativity.

In 2012, I started getting invitations to various astronomical groups to give presentations in my areas of interest, and these invitations are continuing. For anyone interested in learning more about my activities, there is a list of these presentations on this page.

Some items about me:

In 2017, I completed my B.Sc. Astronomy [honours 1st class]. Then, in January of 2018, I started studying for a PhD in Relativistic Quantum Information at Queensland University. The doctoral thesis was entitled:

‘Quantum interpretations in relativistic quantum information [RQI].’

Names of advisors: Professor Timothy Ralph (Principal) and Dr Austin Lund (Associate).

However, I felt that working in RQI was really interesting, yet it would not take me to my goal of unifying quantum mechanics and general relativity. And so, I started the process of starting a new doctoral thesis under the supervision of Dr Peter Evans at The University of Queensland, in philosophy, entitled:

‘Time  in Physics.‘
