Paul Anthony Midgley (born 1966)

Materials Science in the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy at the University of Cambridge[3][4] and a fellow of Peterhouse, Cambridge
.

Education

Midgley was educated at the University of Bristol where he was awarded a Master of Science degree in 1988[5] and a PhD in 1991[6] for work on electron microscopy of high-temperature superconductors.

Career

Before moving to Cambridge in 1997, Midgley held two

postdoctoral research fellowships in the Henry Herbert Wills
Physics Laboratory at the University of Bristol.

Research

Midgley's research interests are in electron tomography, electron holography, energy-filtered imaging and ab initio structure determination by electron diffraction.[7][8][9][10][11] During his research, Midgley has collaborated with Mark Welland,[12] Rafal Dunin-Borkowski,[13] Neil Mathur,[14] John Meurig Thomas,[15][16] Brian F. G. Johnson[15] and Henning Sirringhaus.[17]

Midgley's research has been funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC),[18] the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 and the Royal Society.[7]

Awards and honours

Midgley was elected a

heavy fermion systems and mixed-valent manganites were important breakthroughs.[1]
