Andrew John Schofield (better known as Andy Schofield) is a theoretical physicist and a professor at the University of Birmingham where he is a Pro-Vice-Chancellor and the Head of the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences (EPS). His research focus is in the theory of correlated quantum systems, with current interests concerning non-Fermi liquids, quantum criticality and high-temperature superconductivity.[2][3]
Biography
Andy Schofield was educated at Whitgift School before reading Natural Sciences at Gonville and Caius College, University of Cambridge. In 1993, he obtained his PhD at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge and won a College Research Fellowship at Gonville and Caius.[3] He was a postdoctoral researcher at Rutgers, New Jersey before his return to Cambridge as a Royal Society University Research Fellow.[4] He joined the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Birmingham in 1999, became the Head of School in 2010, and was promoted in 2015 to Pro-Vice-Chancellor and Head of the College of EPS.[5]
Awards
- The Schuldham Plate (1989), Gonville and Caius.[3]
- Maxwell Medal and Prize (2002)[6] for work on the emergent properties of correlated electrons.[3]
- Fellow of the Institute of Physics (2002).[3]
