Biography
Hello, my name is Phil Diamond. I am a Professor in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Manchester and, since 2012, the Director-General of the Square Kilometre Array.
Information on the SKA can be found at http://www.skatelescope.org.
My scientific interests include the study of star-formation and stellar evolution, starburst galaxies, supernovae and the environments of super-massive black-holes. In the main, I use radio interferometry to undertake this work, using MERLIN, VLBI and other facilities.
