Berry, Michael
Keynote Speaker
Professor
University of Bristol
Sir Michael Berry is the Melville Wills Professor of Physics at the University of Bristol, Europe, where he has been for twice as long as he has not. His research centres on the relations between physical theories at different levels of description (classical and quantum physics, ray optics and wave optics…). He delights in finding familiar phenomena illustrating deep concepts: the arcane in the mundane – rainbows, sunlight sparkling on the sea, polarized light in the sky... He has been 13 honorary degrees and more than 20 national and international awards, including Maxwell Medal, Dirac Medal, Wolf Prize, Onsager Medal, Lorenz Medal.
