Andrew Fisher

I studied Natural Sciences at Cambridge University (1983-1986), taking a Part II in Physics and Theoretical Physics. I then moved to Oxford University to pursue my DPhil research in theoretical condensed-matter physics (1986-9). I remained in Oxford after the completion of my DPhil as a Junior Research Fellow of St John’s College (1989-1993). During this period I spent a year as a Royal Society Postdoctoral Fellow at the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory. I was appointed to a Lectureship at Durham University in 1993, and moved to UCL in 1995. I have been involved as a Principal Investigator in the London Centre for Nanotechnology since its inception in 2006, and I was the Director of the UCL part of the Centre between 2015 and 2022. I was the Director of the Centre for Doctoral Training in Delivering Quantum Technologies (2014-15) and also directed the UCL Skills Hub in Quantum Systems Engineering (2016-22).
