Jack Radcliffe

Jack Radcliffe is a Lecturer at the University of Pretoria and a Research Scientist associated with the SKA (Square Kilometre Array) project. He is affiliated with the Astronomy and Astrophysics Theory Group, focusing on radio astronomy and astrophysical phenomena. His expertise includes Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), galaxy evolution, and the study of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN).

Radcliffe's research emphasizes high-resolution radio imaging techniques, survey design for multi-telescope collaborations, and the application of interferometry to explore star formation and extragalactic structures. He has contributed to major initiatives like the VLBA CANDELS GOODS-North Survey and the SWEEPS VLBI survey, advancing methodologies for source detection and calibration.

His work bridges observational astronomy with computational analysis, addressing systematic errors in flux recovery and exploring exoplanet radio signatures through SETI observations. Collaborations span institutions globally, reflecting his role in international astronomical networks.

Radcliffe completed his PhD in 2019, supervised by Professors Muxlow and Beswick, titled *Nowhere to Hide: Identifying AGN in the faint radio sky*. This thesis received significant academic and public attention, including media coverage and social media engagement.
