Daniel S. Fisher (born November 21, 1956) is an American theoretical physicist working in
statistical physics.[1]
Biography
Daniel Fisher graduated from Cornell University with a bachelor's degree in mathematics and physics in 1975 and from Harvard University with a master's degree in physics in 1978 and a doctorate in physics in 1979 working with
Bertrand Halperin.[2][3] He then worked in the theoretical department at
Bell Labs until 1987. In 1987 he became a professor of physics at Princeton University and in 1990 at Harvard.[3] In 2005 he moved to Stanford University as a professor of applied physics.[3]
Fisher initially focused on dynamics and phase transitions in disordered systems (such as glasses) and quantum dissipation in superconductors. More recently, he switched to biophysics with a wide range of research topics (including information processing in the brain, physics of biological macromolecules, and evolutionary and population dynamics).[4]
