Peter N. WilkinsonPeter N. Wilkinson is Emeritus Professor of Radio Astronomy at the University of Manchester. He has been involved in the development of radio telescopes at Jodrell Bank Observatory since 1967, including five years spent at a combination of the Califonia Institute of Technology and the US National Radio Astronomy Observatory. In 1991 he wrote the first published paper describing the scientific rationale and outline structure of a radio interferometer array which developed into the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project. He is now working on a novel radio telescope to map the sky with a precision ten times better than achieved by the discoverers of the Cosmic Microwave Background. He is a leading member of the UK's Newton Project, which teaches radio astronomy to students world-wide. Read More Read Less
