Biography

Read Dr Robin Barnard’s biography.

Dr Robin Barnard is a visiting research fellow at The Open University, busy X-raying the Andromeda Galaxy. If you're very brave, you can find out how he discovered a new black hole here. He is very glad that X-ray astronomy keeps your nights free and enjoys films, going out and stunning friends with fantastic food and drink. He also likes cats, but his landlord won't let him have one!
