Dr. Stan Zochowski
I did my undergraduate degree in physics at McMaster University, Hamilton, Canada. From there I went down the road as a Massey College Fellow to the University of Toronto. At Toronto, I received my M.Sc. and my Ph.D. in low-temperature experimental physics. During this time, I also spent six enjoyable months as Acting Dean of Men at Victoria University in the University of Toronto.
From the University of Toronto, I moved to Birkbeck College, London, where I held postdoctoral positions in the physics and chemistry departments. In 1992, I was appointed to a lectureship in physics at Birkbeck. I went to the Condensed Matter and Material Physics group at UCL in 1997 and am now also a member of the London Centre for Nanotechnology.
The particular focus of my work to date has been on the magnetism of rare-earth and uranium-based materials. I am also interested in new techniques of Physics Teaching.
