Jeremy John Baumberg,
Education
Baumberg was born on 14 March 1967. He was educated at the University of Cambridge where he was an undergraduate student of Jesus College, Cambridge and awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree in Natural Sciences in 1988.[citation needed] He moved to the University of Oxford where he was awarded a Doctor of Philosophy degree in 1993. During his postgraduate study he was a student of Jesus College, Oxford and supervised by John Francis Ryan where his doctoral research investigated nonlinear optics in semiconductors.[citation needed]
Career and research
Following his PhD, Baumberg was a visiting IBM Research fellow at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) from 1994 to 1995.[citation needed] He returned to the UK to work in the Hitachi Cambridge Lab[1] from 1995 to 1998 before being appointed Professor of Nano-scale Physics at the University of Southampton[citation needed] from 1998 to 2007 where he co-founded Mesophotonics Limited, a Southampton University spin-off company.[citation needed]
Baumberg's research is in nanotechnology,[2] including nanophotonics, plasmonics, metamaterials and optical microcavities. He is interested in the development of nanostructured optical materials that undergo unusual interactions with light, and his research has various commercial applications.[3][4]
His early work led to the development of a number of pioneering experimental techniques.[2] His research has been funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)[5][6] and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC).[7]
Baumberg appeared in the documentary The Secret Life of Materials in 2015 and a
