Martin Freer is a British Nuclear Physicist, professor, and was previously head of the School of Physics and Astronomy[1] at the University of Birmingham.[1] He won the 2010 Rutherford Medal and Prize for establishing the existence of nuclear configurations analogous to molecules.[2]
Education
[edit]BSc (Hons) Maths and Physics, Aston University, 1987.[1]
PhD in Nuclear Physics, University of Birmingham, 1991.[1]
University of Birmingham
[edit]From 2015 until 1 July 2019, Martin Freer was the head of the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Birmingham.[1]
He is also the director of the Birmingham Centre for Nuclear Education and Research,[3] whose purpose is to provide the investment and infrastructure to grow the nuclear expertise and capacity in Birmingham,[4] as well as the Director of the Birmingham Energy Institute[5] which seeks to develop sustainable energy solutions in transport, electricity and heat supply.
He featured in the Universities Birmingham Heroes campaign for "championing UK investment in clean-cold technologies amid concern that global demand for cooling and refrigeration will overtake heating by 2060."[6]
