Chris Willott is a Senior Research Officer (Astronomer), working in the Canadian Astronomy Data Centre group. Mr. Willott's research interests are primarily in cosmological evolution, particularly the growth of black holes and massive galaxies. I use data from radio to X-rays to identify and understand galaxies and quasars up to the highest redshifts known. He is involved in the development of future observatories the James Webb Space Telescope and the Square Kilometre Array.
