Emeritus Professor Malcolm Coe FRAS, FHEA, FRCS

Research interests

  • His PhD involved participating in the construction of the UK's first  space-based X-ray telescope and, subsequently, analyzing data from that instrument.
  • At NASA, and since, he worked with other space-based telescopes to investigate the Universe at extreme temperatures and gravities, exploring the boundaries of Einstein's theory of General Relativity.
  • Since then he has also been a frequent user of international ground-based telescopes.
