Dr Kim Page

I obtained an MPhys in Physics with Astrophysics from the University of Leicester in 2000, followed by a PhD in X-ray Astronomy also from Leicester in 2003. I have been a member of the Swift team since mid-2004, before the launch of the satellite, and help to run the UK Swift Science Data Centre based at the University of Leicester.

My main research interests are X-ray observations of the super-soft source (SSS) phase of novae, and gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). I am funded by the UK Space Agency under a post-launch support grant for Swift.
