Prof Jay Farihi, Professor of Astrophysics, Dept of Physics & Astronomy, Faculty of Maths & Physical Sciences. My main research activity is digging up evidence of terrestrial planetary systems at stellar corpses known as white dwarfs. One might not expect to find the surviving planetary systems around dead stars, but the universe is full of surprises.
