Matthew Malek

Dr. Matthew Malek holds a doctorate in physics and astronomy, with a specialisation in astroparticle physics – where the study of nature’s smallest scales (particle physics) overlaps with the study of the largest scales (astronomy). Over the course of his career, he has worked on neutrino astronomy at the Kamioka Observatory in Japan, ultra-high energy cosmic rays at the Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina, and searched for dark matter at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory in Italy. When at home in the UK, he is also a keen amateur astronomer, with a particular interest in solar telescopes.
