Jeremy John Baumberg (born 14 March 1967)[1] FRS FInstP[2] is Professor of Nanoscience in the Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge,[5] a Fellow of Jesus College, Cambridge[6][7] and Director of the NanoPhotonics Centre.[3][8][9][10]
Education
Baumberg 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.[1] He moved to the University of Oxford where he was awarded a Doctor of Philosophy degree in 1993.[4] 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.[4][11]
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.[1] He returned to the UK to work in the Hitachi Cambridge Lab[12] from 1995 to 1998 before being appointed Professor of Nano-scale Physics at the University of Southampton[13][14] from 1998 to 2007 where he co-founded Mesophotonics Limited, a Southampton University spin-off company.[7]
Baumberg's research is in nanotechnology,[2] including nanophotonics, plasmonics, metamaterials and optical microcavities.[3][8][15] He is interested in the development of nanostructured optical materials that undergo unusual interactions with light, and his research has various commercial applications.[2][16][17]
His early work led to the development of a number of pioneering experimental techniques.[2] Highlights of Baumberg's research include his work on confining light to the nanoscopic scale and plasmonic interactions with metals; the ultrafast dynamics of magnetic semiconductors,[18] which made a significant contribution to the area of spintronics; work on coherent control in solids; and studies of semiconductor microcavities.[2][19][15] During his career he has supervised numerous PhD students and postdoctoral researchers in his laboratory[20][21][22][23][24] and his research has been funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)[25][26] and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC).[27]
Baumberg holds patents on coherent control, supercontinuum generation chips, plasmon filters, photonic crystal lasers, Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrates and solar cells.[7] He appeared as himself on the documentary The Secret Life of Materials in 2015 and a Horizon documentary about Schön scandal first broadcast in 2004.[28][29]
Baumberg's first book The Secret Life of Science: How It Really Works and Why It Matters is scheduled for publication in May 2018.[30]
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[31] and the Gold Faraday Medal and Prize in 2017.[32] Baumberg was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2011,[2] a Fellow of The Optical Society of America in 2006 and has been a Fellow of the Institute of Physics (FInstP) since 1998.[7]
Personal life
Baumberg is the son of the late Simon Baumberg OBE,[33] a microbiologist and who served as Professor of bacterial genetics at the University of Leeds from 1996 to 2005.[33][34][35]
