Daniel Marlow, Evans Crawford 1911 Professor of Physics
Ph.D. in Physics

Although my professional research is in the area of experimental particle physics (the Large Hadron Collider at CERN), I have a longstanding interest in radio and radio astronomy.  I was therefore delighted to be included as a member of the CCERA and to participate in the restoration of the 12.8 m radio telescope to operation.    It has been a special pleasure to work with the CCERA team, which has an incredible breadth and depth of knowledge regarding both the technical and scientific aspects of radio astronomy.

Much of the material for the camp is based on a course on 21-cm radio astronomy  that I developed for Princeton students.   As the late John Wheeler famously said, "If you want to learn, teach."   Personally, I find that no matter how many times I have taught a subject, someone always manages to ask a question that leads me to think about the material in new ways.   I thus very much look forward to the camp.

Sincerely,
Dan Marlow
Camp Director
