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
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
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] His research has been funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) [5] [6] and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC). [7]
Baumberg appeared in the documentary The Secret Life of Materials in 2015 and a Horizon documentary about Schön scandal first broadcast in 2004. [8] [9]
Awards and honours
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 [10] and the Gold Faraday Medal and Prize in 2017. [11] Baumberg was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2011. [2]
