Swan Lake on Everest through a Telescope was hosted by special guest Professor Andrew Liddle, Institute for Astrophysics and Space Sciences, University of Lisbon. Here's the text of his introduction.
Andrew Liddle is widely recognised amongst the world's top cosmologists. He is author of nearly 300 scientific papers and 5 books. He has worked in a wide range of international collaborations including the Planck Satellite mission and the Dark Energy Survey.
Since the first image of the Early Universe by the COBE satellite in 1992, Liddle's work has been instrumental in defining a new era in cosmological thinking. His insightful results on theoretical astrophysics, and contributions in the field of Bayesian statistical analysis and large-dimensional parameter searches, have influenced many fields. These range from extra-galactic astronomy to the cosmic microwave background and finally the complex statistical analysis of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.
According to Stanford University's global analysis of science output, Liddle is ranked within the top 0.05% of scientists worldwide, and is the most influential physical scientist currently working in Portugal.
