About

This website brings together the different parts of Jack Berat’s work in radio polarization, interstellar turbulence, and public engagement with science. It offers an overview of my research, publications, academic path, and collective commitments.

Research Themes

Interstellar Medium and Turbulence

I study the structure of the multiphase interstellar medium, magnetized turbulence, and the ways these processes leave signatures in radio observables.

Radio Polarization and Faraday Tomography

I am interested in depolarization canals, low-frequency polarized diagnostics, and inference methods that help connect Faraday cubes and polarization maps to the underlying physics.

Software, Data, and Reproducibility

I develop tools in Julia and Python for scientific analysis, visualization, and dissemination, with particular attention to methodological clarity and reproducibility.

Science Communication and Public Engagement

Science communication is an important part of my work. I am involved in teaching, mentoring, public-facing programming, and in conversations about the social and environmental responsibilities of research.

At the Fleurance Astronomy Festival, I coordinate a week of talks and events led by doctoral researchers. I also contribute to collective discussions about research practice, working conditions, and the climate emergency.

Approach

I aim to connect research, pedagogy, and the public circulation of knowledge. That means paying attention not only to scientific results themselves, but also to how methods, tools, and questions are shared.
