Andrew Jaffe

Andrew Jaffe is Professor of Astrophysics and Cosmology at Imperial College in London. He studied at Yale and the University of Chicago and held postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Toronto and the University of California, Berkeley. His main scientific interests are in deciphering the history and evolution of the Universe by analysing observations of the faint echoes of the Big Bang and to that end is a co-Investigator on the European Space Agency’s Planck Surveyor satellite. He has also collaborated with the Architecture Association in London as part of their Beyond Entropy research cluster, through which he exhibited a prototype reconstruction of Alfred Jarry’s time machine in the 2010 Venice Architecture Biennale.
