Dominic is a postdoctoral researcher in astronomy based at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge. Since completing his PhD in 2008, his time has been split between researching how stars form and designing a large new radio telescope, the Square Kilometre Array. Dominic is a regular contributor to Naked Astronomy, and has made guest appearances on Ask The Naked Scientists and The Naked Scientists.
In his spare time, Dominic can often be found pointing a pair of binoculars skywards, working late into the night on one of his pet free software projects or enjoying a Chopin prelude. He is also known for having something of a weakness for fine port.
