Danielle Amanda George MBE (née Kettle; born 1975/6) is a Professor of Radio frequency engineering in the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) and Associate Dean for Teaching and Learning at the University of Manchester in the UK.

George was born to a car mechanic father and a mother who taught special needs and is the middle of three sisters. She grew up in Newcastle upon Tyne and was educated at Kenton School and the University of Liverpool where she completed her Bachelor of Science degree in Astrophysics.

After her Master of Science degree in the School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Manchester, she worked at Jodrell Bank Observatory (JBO), as a radio frequency engineer. Alongside her engineering work, she completed a PhD degree at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST) for research on low-noise amplifiers.

George worked at JBO as a senior microwave engineer until 2006, when she was appointed a lecturer in the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. She was promoted to Professor at the age of 38 in 2014. She was the editor of the International Journal of Electrical Engineering Education (IJEEE) 2013 to 2014.

George's research and development investigates low noise receivers and particularly:

George is the UK lead for amplifiers in the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) telescope and has worked with NASA and the European Space Agency on the development of instrumentation for researchers exploring the Big Bang.
