Martin Ryle was a British radio astronomer who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1974 for his pioneering work in radio astronomy, particularly for the development of techniques that allowed for the mapping of radio sources in the sky. Ryle's contributions significantly advanced the field of radio astronomy and expanded the understanding of cosmic phenomena.
"During the war years I worked on the development of radar and other radio systems for the R.A.F. and, though gaining much in engineering experience and in understanding people, rapidly forgot most of the physics I had learned."

"In 1959 the University recognized our work by appointing me to a new Chair of Radio Astronomy."
