Richard E Palmer教授简介：

Richard E Palmer is Professor of Experimental Physics at the University of Birmingham and Head of the Nanoscale Physics Research Laboratory, which he established in 1994, the first centre for nanoscience in the UK. His research interests include atomic clusters, atomic manipulation and nanofabrication, with applications in catalysis, coatings and cancer research. He obtained his first degree (1983) and PhD (1986) at Cambridge University, where he held 1851, Clare College and Royal Society Research Fellowships. He has held visiting positions at Cornell, Oxford and Harvard Universities. In 1996 he was awarded the CV Boys Medal of the Institute of Physics and in 2010 he received an Honorary Doctoral Degree (dr. h.c.) from Hasselt University, Belgium.
