Chris Sedgwick Work to date (1) Identified 389 redshifts in AKARI SEP field and prepared local 90 micron luminosity function (Sedgwick et al. 2011 MNRAS) (2) Identified 42 quasars in AKARI all-sky 90 micron catalogue. Prepared SEDs and possible optical-FIR correlation for quasars (to do follow up observations) (3) Identified most distant H-alpha lines for SFGs at z=3.5 (>11 billions yrs ago) using NIR spectroscopy; found dusty quasars in 2 radio galaxies; submm galaxies associated with HzRGs; wrote new pipeline including GUI (paper about to be submitted)
