Chandra
Wickramasinghe, a former student of Sir Fred Hoyle, is a distinguished
astronomer who has made important contributions to the theory of cosmic
dust. In 1974 he first proposed the theory that dust in interstellar space
and in comets was largely organic, a theory that has now been vindicated.
Jointly with Sir Fred Hoyle he was awarded the International Dag
Hammarskjold Gold Medal for Science in 1986, and in 1992 he was decorated
by the President of Sri Lanka with the titular honour of Vidya Jyothi. He
was awarded the International Sahabdeen Prize for Science in 1996. He
holds the highest doctorate (ScD) from the University of Cambridge and an
honorary doctorate from the Soka University of Tokyo, Japan, along with
several other international distinctions. Formerly a Fellow of Jesus
College Cambridge, he is now Professor of Applied Mathematics and
Astronomy at Cardiff University of Wales. He is an award-winning poet and
the author or co-author of over 20 books and over 250 scientific papers.
He has held visiting professorial appointments in a large number of
Universities world-wide and has at one time been advisor to the President
of Sri Lanka. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and a Fellow of
the Royal Astronomical Society.
