Cantanout Limited

Cantanout Limited was founded in 2003 by three researchers and lecturers in astrophysics in order to make the exciting results and ideas from stellar astrophysics available to a wider audience. The founders have extensive teaching experience and are all actively engaged in astronomical research.

Dr Robert Cannon studied astrophysics at Cambridge and has worked in Australia France and the UK including research appointments at the Observatories of Paris-Meudon and Lyon.

During and after his PhD, Robert wrote the first programs capable of computing the internal chemical evolution of rapidly mised stars.

His current interests are in software architecture, astrophysics and neuroscience. He is responsible for Cantanout's software products and website.
