Dr. Clive Dickinson
Professor of Astrophysics and Head of the Sun, Stars and Galaxies (SSG) Group
I am Professor of Astrophysics and Head of the Sun, Stars and Galaxies (SSG) Group at the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics at the University of Manchester. I am also the course director for the MSc by research in Astronomy and Astrophysics programme.
We hosted the first workshop on Anomlaous Microave Emission (AME). If you would like to view the talk titles (with downloadable pdf slides) please click here. You can download papers related to work presented at the meeting, from the Hindawi website here.
