Prof. Roger Penrose
Prof. Dr. Roger Penrose
Roger Penrose PhD
Prof. Roger Penrose PhD
Roger Penrose DPhil
and also just Roger Penrose.
Calibre treats them as different authors ( some with the same author sort). So if I click on a book by Prof. Roger Penrose and search for books with the same author I will not get books by Roger Penrose PhD. Is there a way to tell Calibre that all these authors are really the same?
A similar problem exist for authors writing under different pen names.
My workaround at the moment is to add as a first author Roger Penrose and have the other name as the second author.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
Have a look at the Preferences->Searching->Group Searches and Similar books tabs.
