Research
Kibblewhite's research concentrates on developing new technologies to revolutionize optical/IR astronomy. His current interests include: adaptive optics to achieve diffraction limited resolution from ground based telescopes, high-power lasers for generating synthetic beacons for adaptive optics, the design of extremely large telescopes (> 30 meters) and optical/infrared interferometry from space and the ground.
