Six institutions, including the University of Oxford, are leading efforts to deliver computational systems that will enable the world’s largest radio telescope.  

A team of physicists from Oxford and Manchester Universities are working together on pulsar and fast radio transient science.

Oxford e-Research Centre working with industrial partners on fast algorithm development. Exciting new discoveries are expected in our galaxy and beyond. The Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO) will comprise nearly 200 radio telescope dishes in South Africa and 130,000+ antennas in Australia.

More than £15million has today been awarded to six UK universities and laboratories, for work on what will be the world’s largest radio telescope. Two teams at Oxford will work on the crucial software and computer hardware that will enable SKAO to achieve its scientific goals.
