Dr. Peter Fischer received his PhD in Physics (Dr.rer.nat.) from the Technical University in Munich, Germany in 1993 on pioneering work with X-ray magnetic circular dichroism in rare earth systems and his Habilitation (Dr.rer.nat.habil.) from the University in Würzburg, Germany in 2000 based on his pioneering work on Magnetic Soft X-ray microscopy.
Since 2004 he is with the Material Sciences Division (MSD) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley CA. He is Senior Scientist and Principal Investigator in the Non-Equilibrium Magnetic Materials Program and serves as Deputy Division Director at MSD. His research program is focused on the use of polarized synchrotron radiation for the study of fundamental problems in magnetism. Since 2014 he is also Adjunct Professor for Physics at the University of California in Santa Cruz.
Dr. Fischer has published so far over 230 peer reviewed papers and has given >340 invited presentations at national and international conferences. He was nominated as Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Magnetics Society in 2011. For his achievements of “hitting the 10nm resolution milestone with soft X-ray microscopy” he received the Klaus Halbach Award at the Advanced Light Source in 2010.
Dr. Fischer is Fellow of the APS and IEEE.
