Experimental Research Using and Developing the Top Astronomical Instruments

 

Combine a gift from the Dunlap family with Canada’s involvement in the next generation of large telescopes, and you have a recipe for success.

Whether it is for telescopes on the ground (Atacama Large Millimeter ArrayThirty Meter Telescope) or in space (James Webb Space Telescope), the Dunlap Institute will be there, involved in the design of equipment and in the observations.

Professor James R. Graham, director of the Dunlap Institute gives us a glimpse of the next five years, including the hire of four new professors and a corresponding number of post-docs — an exceptional growth!
