Carole Tucker FLSW is a Professor at the School of Physics and Astronomy, Cardiff University. She is a Fellow of the Learned Society of Wales[1] (elected 2018), and a member of the Institute of Physics and the Royal Astronomical Society. Her research focuses on astronomy instrumentation in the fields of far infra-red quasi-optics and spectroscopy. She is a member of the UK EPSRC THz Network, Teranet and a reviewer for the IEEE[2] Transactions on Terahertz Science and Technology.
Tucker's publications[3] reflect a host of world-wide astronomical collaborations, which show how the technological developments of her research group are deployed on virtually all FIR telescopes in the world. In the last 2 years, the publications related to this work have accelerated, in line with the current development/instrument work on the next generation CMB and FIR instruments in Europe and the US.
