Biography

Mike Cruise obtained his BSc and PhD from University College London where he worked at the Millard Space Science Laboratory on instrumentation for X-Ray Astronomy. In 1985 he was appointed Deputy Director. In 1986 he left UCL to become leader of the Astrophysics Group at the Rutherford Appelton Laboratory, subsequently becoming the Associate Director for Space. In 1995 he was appointed to a chair at the University of Birmingham, followed by five years as Head of School and five years as Pro Vice Chancellor for Research and Knowledge Transfer. He formally retired in 2012 from University of Birmingham but is still active on space issues with ESA and UKSA, and continues research into gravitational wave science.

RESEARCH ACTIVITY 

Mike Cruise is part of the consortium which has built the payload for LISA Pathfinder, the technical pre-cursor to LISA- a space based gravitational wave observatory.

For many years Mike has been investigating the interaction of gravitational waves and electromagnetic fields.

Mike has pioneered the development of gravitational wave detectors for very high frequencies- above 1 MHz and has detectors observing at 14 GHz and at Optical frequencies in his laboratory at Birmingham. He is now studying the use of these techniques at low frequencies.
