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.
Qualifications
BSc (Hons), Physics with Astrophysics, University of Leeds, 1979
Diploma for Advanced Studies in Science, Manchester University, 1980
PhD, Radio Astronomy, Manchester University, 1982
