Alexander Rudolf Hamilton (born 1967) is with the School of Physics at the University of New South Wales (UNSW). He is notable in the area of experimental condensed matter physics, particularly semiconductor nanofabrication and the study of quantum effects in nanometer scale electronic devices at ultra-low temperatures.
Education
He obtained his BSc in physics from the University of London in 1988, and a PhD, under Michael Pepper and Michael Kelly (physicist), from the University of Cambridge in 1993 with a thesis entitled Low Dimensional Transport in Back-Gated Heterostructures.[1]
Career
He was awarded an EPSRC postdoctoral fellowship to continue his work at the
quantum computer
devices. In 2005 he moved full-time to the School of Physics, where he leads the Quantum Electronic Devices group, working on quantum transport in semiconductor nanostructures (in particular electron and hole transport in GaAs quantum wires and dots). He was awarded the Australasian Science Prize in 2006, a COSMOS 'Bright Sparks' award in 2007, and an ARC Professorial Fellowship in the same year. In 2012 he was the recipient of an ARC Outstanding Researcher Award, and in 2015 was elected as a Fellow of the American Physical Society.
He is Deputy Director of the
topological materials, exciton superfluids, non-equilibrium physics, atomically-thin materials and nanodevice fabrication.[2]
