Bennett (born November 26, 1956) is an American observational astrophysicist. He is a Bloomberg Distinguished Professor, the Alumni Centennial Professor of Physics and Astronomy and a Gilman Scholar at Johns Hopkins University. He is the principal investigator of NASA’s extremely efficient Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP).
Bennett was given his National Academy of Sciences Henry Draper Medal in 2005, and The Comstock Prize in Physics in 2009 for his work as the head of WMAP. Bennett was awarded the Harvey Prize in 2006 for, “the precise determination of the age, composition and curvature of the universe.” Bennett was awarded his 2010 Shaw Prize in astronomy with Lyman A. Page, Jr. along with David N. Spergel, both from Princeton University, for their research on WMAP. In 2012, the Gruber Cosmology Prize was awarded to “Charles L. Bennett and the WMAP Team” for “transforming our current paradigm of structure formation from appealing scenario into precise science.” “By observing the relic radiation from the early universe, Charles L. Bennett and the WMAP team established the Standard Cosmological Model.” Bennett was named 2014 Karl G. Jansky Prize Lecturer.
Prior to 2005, Bennett was a Senior Scientist for Experimental Cosmology, Goddard Senior Fellow, and Infrared Astrophysics Branch Head at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. Bennett worked at the Carnegie Institute within Washington’s Department of Terrestrial Magnetism during the summer months from 1976 until 1978.

The year 2004, his name was made as a Fellow in the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
In 2015 Bennett was awarded the Caterina Tomassoni and Felice Pietro Chisesi Prize “For Dr. Bennett’s leadership in two experiments on the Cosmic Microwave Background that literally changed our view of the Universe: COBE-DMR, leading to the discovery of primordial spatial fluctuations in the CMB, and WMAP, leading to precise measurements of the cosmological parameters and establishing -de facto- the Standard Cosmological Model”. Bennett was named for the 2017 Isaac Newton Medal and Prize: “Professor Charles L Bennett, the leader of the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP), has had a transformative effect in cosmology. WMAP has, through its incredibly precise measurements of temperature fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background (CMB), revolutionized our understanding of the universe. It transformed cosmology from an order-of-magnitude game to a precision experimental science.”
