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]
BSc (Hons) Maths and Physics, Aston University, 1987. [1]
PhD in Nuclear Physics, University of Birmingham, 1991. [1]
From 2015 until 1st 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]
The University of Birmingham is a public research university located in Edgbaston, Birmingham, United Kingdom. It received its royal charter in 1900 as a successor to Queen's College, Birmingham and Mason Science College, making it the first English civic or 'red brick' university to receive its own royal charter. It is a founding member of both the Russell Group of British research universities and the international network of research universities, Universitas 21.
Sir Martin Ryle was an English radio astronomer who developed revolutionary radio telescope systems and used them for accurate location and imaging of weak radio sources. In 1946 Ryle and Derek Vonberg were the first people to publish interferometric astronomical measurements at radio wavelengths. With improved equipment, Ryle observed the most distant known galaxies in the universe at that time. He was the first Professor of Radio Astronomy at the University of Cambridge, and founding director of the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory. He was Astronomer Royal from 1972 to 1982. Ryle and Antony Hewish shared the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1974, the first Nobel prize awarded in recognition of astronomical research. In the 1970s, Ryle turned the greater part of his attention from astronomy to social and political issues which he considered to be more urgent.

The Department of Physics at Durham University in Durham, England, is a large physics and astronomy department involved in both undergraduate teaching and scientific research. In the most recent subject review report by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) for Higher Education, the department achieved maximum marks (24/24) and in the 2001 Research Assessment Exercise the department retained a Grade 5A rating. In addition, the department's research into Space Science and Astrophysics was rated as number one in Europe and fourth in the world by Thomson Reuters from its Essential Science Indicators (1998–2008).
