Dennis Sciama, considered by many to be one of the founding fathers of modern cosmology and who the ICG’s Dennis Sciama Building is named after, is among five academics remembered in a recent Times Higher Education feature. As Stephen Hawking’s PhD supervisor he was featured in the recent film ‘Theory of Everything’, as noted in the article.

Sciama’s section was authored by Martin Rees, another of his former PhD students. Lord Rees also inaugurated the Dennis Sciama Building in 2009.
