Prof. Peter Norreys, Professor of Inertial Fusion Science - Oxford, Individual Merit Fellow - STFC, William Penney Fellow - AWE

Peter Norreys is Professor of Inertial Fusion Science at the University of Oxford and is an Individual Merit Fellow of the Science and Technology Facilities Council. I completed my second term as Divisional Associate Editor of Physical Review Letters in January 2017.

I graduated from Royal Holloway College, University of London, in 1989 and spent one year as a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science Post-Doctoral Fellow at Osaka University Japan. I joined the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in 1990 on my return to the United Kingdom and have been involved in the study of relativistically intense laser-plasma interactions since then.

I was awarded the 2013 Institute of Physics' Payne-Gaposchkin Medal and Prize for my original contributions to relativistic laser-plasma interaction physics. I also have received the 2006 American Physical Society’s Award for Excellence in Plasma Physics Research for my contributions to inertial fusion science and, as UK team leader, the 2007 Daiwa Adrian Prize for UK-Japan collaborative investigations into new areas of high energy density science. I am currently William Penney Fellow of AWE, a Fellow of the Institute of Physics and of the American Physical Society and am a visiting Professor to Imperial College London.
