Professor Danielle George

Danielle George is a Professor of Radio Frequency Engineering and Vice Dean for Teaching and Learning in the Faculty of Science and Engineering at the University of Manchester.She was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire in the 2016 Queen’s honours list for services to engineering through public engagement.In 2016 she received the Royal Academy of Engineering Rooke Medal for services to engineering and in 2017 received the Harold Hartley Medal for outstanding contribution to the field of Measurement and Control.Danielle’s research is dedicated to solving one the 14 world engineering grand challenges of the 21st century; engineering the tools for scientific discovery. Her research is delivering class-leading ultra-low noise receivers for Space and Aerospace applications.She is involved in the $1B astronomical instrument, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), is the UK lead for amplifiers for the $1B Atacama Large Millimetre Array (ALMA) telescope and has worked with NASA and ESA on the development of instrumentation for researchers exploring the Big Bang.Professor George is passionate about raising public awareness, in such ways as how positive impact engineering and science has on all aspects of our everyday lives, as well as highlighting to young people the immense depth and breadth of opportunities a career in science and engineering can offer. This has led to her numerous current high-profile Ambassadorial roles.She presented the 2014 Royal Institution Christmas Lectures and has delivered a number of TED and TEDx talks. Her hometown of Newcastle recognised her as a ‘Great North Contemporary Great’ in the 2015 Great North Culture Exhibition.Her recent television programmes include BBC Four ‘Rise of the Robots’, BBC Two ‘Search for a New Earth’ with Professor Stephen Hawking, BBC One North West ‘Nation of Inventors’. All three series are part of the BBC Tomorrow’s World season.
