\section{Introduction}
I am an astronomer with an interest in applying radio interferometers to the study of fast transients. Fast (i.e., subsecond duration) radio transients are generated by pulsars and stellar/exoplanet magnetospheres. At timescales faster than 1 second, propagation through the interstellar/intergalacic plasma induces a frequency-dependent arrival time (dispersion) that is detectable at GHz radio frequencies. Using radio interferometers to study fast transients will be transformative because interferometers can localize sources orders of magnitude better than traditional single-dish radio telescopes. That localization allows us to associate the radio emission with other objects, such as host galaxies or stars, to help us understand the transient and use it to probe the interstellar/intergalactic media.
