Hello, my name is Mike Garrett. I am the inaugural Sir Bernard Lovell chair of Astrophysics at the University of Manchester and the Director of the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics (JBCA).
JBCA is a group of 190 people, including postgraduate students. We are based at two sites: the Alan Turing Building on the University campus in Manchester and Jodrell Bank Observatory (JBO) which is home to the iconic Lovell Telescope. We run e-MERLIN, the UK's radio astronomy National Facility, on behalf of STFC.
My scientific interests are very broad but include the study of the distant universe via high resolution radio observations. I am also active in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI), and I am currently vice-chair of the IAAs SETI Permanent Committee. I am a visiting Professor at the University of Leiden.
