Jeremy John Baumberg, FRS, FInstP (born 14 March 1967) is a British physicist who is professor of nanoscience in the Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge, a fellow of Jesus College, Cambridge, and director of the NanoPhotonics Centre.[citation needed]
Education
[edit | edit source]Baumberg was born on 14 March 1967. He was educated at the University of Cambridge, where he was an undergraduate student of Jesus College, Cambridge, and awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree in natural sciences in 1988.[citation needed] He moved to the University of Oxford, where he was awarded a Doctor of Philosophy degree in 1993. During his postgraduate study he was a student of Jesus College, Oxford, and supervised by John Francis Ryan, where his doctoral research investigated nonlinear optics in semiconductors.[citation needed]
Career and research
[edit | edit source]Following his PhD, Baumberg was a visiting IBM Research fellow at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) from 1994 to 1995.[citation needed] He returned to the UK to work in the Hitachi Cambridge Lab[1] from 1995 to 1998 before being appointed professor of nano-scale physics at the University of Southampton[citation needed] from 1998 to 2007 where he co-founded Mesophotonics Limited, a Southampton University spin-off company.[citation needed]
Baumberg's research is in nanotechnology,[2] including nanophotonics, plasmonics, metamaterials and optical microcavities. He is interested in the development of nanostructured optical materials that undergo unusual interactions with light, and his research has various commercial applications.[3][4] His early work led to the development of a number of pioneering experimental techniques.[2]
Baumberg appeared in the documentary The Secret Life of Materials in 2015 and a Horizon documentary about Schön scandal first broadcast in 2004.[5][6]
Awards and honours
[edit | edit source]Baumberg has received several awards for his research including the Mullard Award in 2004 and Rumford Medal in 2014, both from the Royal Society.[2] The Institute of Physics (IOP) awarded Baumberg with the Silver Young Medal and Prize in 2013[7] and the Gold Faraday Medal and Prize in 2017.[8] Baumberg was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2011.[2]
