Sir Michael Victor Berry , FRS , FRSE , FRSA , HonFInstP mathematical physicist at the University of Bristol , England.
He is known for the Berry phase , a phenomenon observed e.g. in quantum mechanics and optics , as well as Berry connection and curvature . He specializes in semiclassical physics (asymptotic physics, quantum chaos ), applied to wave phenomena in quantum mechanics and other areas such as optics .
Early life and education [ edit ]
Berry was brought up in a Jewish family and was the son of a London taxi driver and a dressmaker.[2] BSc in physics from the University of Exeter where he met his first wife (a sociology student with whom he had his first child)[3] University of St. Andrews .[4] The diffraction of light by ultrasound .[5]
Career and research [ edit ]
He has spent his whole career at the University of Bristol. He was a research fellow , 1965–67; lecturer, 1967–74; reader , 1974–78; Professor of Physics, 1978–88; and Royal Society Research Professor 1988–2006. Since 2006, he is Melville Wills Professor of Physics (Emeritus) at Bristol University.[6]
Publications [ edit ]
Awards and honours [ edit ]
He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 1982 [9] [10] Proceedings of the Royal Society A
Berry has been given the following prizes and awards:[11]
Maxwell Medal and Prize , Institute of Physics , 1978

Interestingly, the facility was partly inspired by previous research conducted by Russian physicist Andrew Geim in which he floated a frog with a magnet. The experiment earned Geim the Ig Nobel Prize in Physics, a satirical award given to unusual scientific research. It's cool that a quirky experiment involving floating a frog could lead to something approaching an honest-to-God antigravity chamber.

It is said to be the first of its kind and could play a key role in the country's future lunar missions. Landscape is supported by a magnetic field and was inspired by experiments to levitate a frog.
