Barth Netterfield
Calvin Barth Netterfield (born 29 April 1968), known as Barth Netterfield, is a Canadian astrophysicist, and a Professor in the Department of Astronomy and the Department of Physics at the University of Toronto.〔http://www.astro.utoronto.ca/~netterfield/ Barth Netterfield personal home page at U of T〕 He is a leading expert in the development of balloon-borne telescopes.〔http://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/Prizes-Prix/Steacie-Steacie/Profiles-Profils_eng.asp?ID=1010 Steacie award profile page at NSERC (for citation a, see paragraph 7)〕〔http://www.cap.ca/awards/press/2007-Netterfield.html 2007 CAP Herzberg Medal press release〕 These are astrophysical experiments that are lifted into the stratosphere by high-altitude balloons where they conduct observations that would be hindered by atmospheric interference if done on the ground. Netterfield is primarily known for his work in observational cosmology, specifically in developing instrumentation to observe the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation.〔 Most notably, he was a key member of the instrument team for BOOMERANG, the experiment that made one of the first accurate determinations of the age, geometry, and mass-energy content of the universe.〔〔

==Early Life and Education==
Netterfield grew up in Surrey, British Columbia. He developed an interest in astronomy from an early age simply by going outside and looking at the stars.〔http://www.asc-csa.gc.ca/eng/sciences/netterfield_barth.asp "Dr. Netterfield is Having a BLAST", article at the Canadian Space Agency website (paragraph 3)〕 His interest in physics was also fostered by his Grade 10 mathematics teacher, who encouraged him to read about relativity.〔 Netterfield eventually moved to Minnesota where he earned a B.S. degree in physics from Bethel College. He went on to do his Ph.D. in physics at Princeton University under the superivision of Lyman Page.〔http://catalog.princeton.edu/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?BBRecID=935258&v2=1&SEQ=20120608010305&PID=dolscMJPPoyG4n8ulo4iefEL1 Doctoral thesis at Princeton University Library〕 He completed his thesis in 1995 on the measurement of the degree-scale anisotropy of the CMB with the ground-based experiment Saskatoon.〔〔 Paper on the measurement of CMB temperature anisotropy using Saskatoon (ApJ 474, 47, 1997)〕 He then became a Millikan Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the California Institute of Technology until 1999, when he was granted a faculty position at the University of Toronto.〔
