Nigel

Nigel Hussey

Appointment

Advisory Committee Chair

Quantum Materials

About

Nigel Hussey’s research focuses on precision measurements of the transport properties of exotic, low-dimensional metals and superconductors in high magnetic fields. He is credited with the first experimental determination of the full Fermi surface of a high temperature superconductor, and the discovery of the strange metallic state.  

Awards

  • Charles Vernon Boys medal (now the Henry Moseley medal) from the Institute of Physics (UK)
  • Inaugural Brian Pippard Superconductivity prize of the Institute of Physics (UK)
  • Elected Fellow of the Institute of Physics (UK)
  • Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit award (UK)
  • European Research Council (ERC) Advanced grant holder
