EspañolMICHAEL PEPPER
'Professor Sir Michael Pepper' FRS FInstP (born 10 August 1942) is a British physicist.
Sir Michael was appointed a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1983[1]. He formed the Semiconductor Physics research group[2] at the Cavendish Laboratory in 1985, and was appointed to his current role, the Professorship of Physics, at the Cavendish Laboratory in 1987, the year in which he received the Hughes Medal. In 1991, he was appointed Managing Director of the newly established Toshiba Cambridge Research Centre, now known as the Cambridge Research Laboratory[3] (CRL) of Toshiba Research Europe. The Institute of Physics awarded Sir Michael the Mott Medal[4] in 2000. The following year, 2001, he was appointed Scientific Director of TeraView, a company formed by spinning off the terahertz research arm of CRL. He became an honorary Professor of Pharmaceutical Science in the University of Otago, New Zealand in 2003[5]. He was awarded the Royal Medal in 2005 for his "work which has had the highest level of influence in condensed matter physics and has resulted in the creation of the modern field of semiconductor nanostructures."[6] and received a knighthood in the 2006 New Year's Honours list for services to physics.
