Dr Marek Kukula

Dr Marek Kukula, Public Astronomer, Royal Observatory Greenwich
As a child Marek was fascinated by the natural world and decided to study astronomy as it seemed to tackle the biggest questions of all. He completed his PhD in Radio Astronomy at Jodrell Bank Observatory then carried out research into black holes and distant galaxies at a variety of astronomy centres including the University of Edinburgh and the Space Telescope Science Institute, home of the Hubble Space Telescope. As Public Astronomer at the Royal Observatory Greenwich he helps to run the Observatory’s exhibitions, planetarium shows and events and is on hand to explain new astronomical discoveries to the public and media.
