Michael Fuhrer
Image Description
Michael Fuhrer is an experimental condensed matter physicist renowned for his work on the electronic properties of low-dimensional materials. He made pioneering measurements to understand how disorder and electron-phonon scattering limit the electronic conduction in carbon nanotubes, graphene, and the surface state of topological insulators. Fuhrer also demonstrated the first nanotube single-electron memory, and developed fast and sensitive graphene terahertz detectors. He has been a leader in organising the research community in novel electronic materials in Australia, including directing the ARC Centre of Excellence in Future Low-Energy Electronics Technologies.
