The early research interests of Andrew Wilson were supernova remnants and cosmic ray propagation. However, most of his research has been concerned with active galaxies, black holes and extragalactic astronomy. The primary goal is to understand active galactic nuclei, especially the production of jets and mass outflows from these objects. Wilson is a member of the Chandra Science Working Group and has, since 2000, been working on Chandra observations of nearby Seyfert and radio galaxies.

He received his Ph. D. from Cambridge University and subsequently held postdoctoral positions at Leiden Observatory and the University of Sussex. Since coming to the U.S.A., he has been on the faculty of the University of Maryland and an Astronomer at the Space Telescope Science Institute.
