This is Charles L. Bennett, Alumni Centennial Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. Bennett and the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe team are the recipients of the 2012 Gruber Cosmology Prize. Their observations and analyses of ancient light have provided the unprecedentedly rigorous measurements of the age, content, geometry, and origin of the Universe that now comprise the Standard Cosmological Model.
