Peer Fischer Explained
Peer Fischer is a German robotics researcher, specializing in biological nanorobotics.
Biography
He received a B.Sc. in Physics from Imperial College London. He did his Ph.D. with A. David Buckingham at the University of Cambridge. He was a DAAD (NATO) postdoctoral fellow at Cornell University and then held a Junior Research Fellowship at the Rowland Institute at Harvard where he directed an independent lab for five years. [1]
In 2009, he set up a photonics lab at the Fraunhofer Institute for Physical Measurement Techniques in Freiburg via an Attract Award from the Fraunhofer Society. He moved to the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart in 2011, and since 2013 he is a professor at the University of Stuttgart.
Peer Fischer is a member of the Max Planck – EPFL Center for Molecular Nanoscience and Technology, and the research network on Learning Systems with ETH Zürich.[2] Furthermore, he is Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and a Founding Editorial Board Member of the journal AAAS Science Robotics.
