Andrew John Schofield (better known as Andy Schofield) is a theoretical physicist and a professor at the University of Birmingham where he is a Pro-Vice-Chancellor and the Head of the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences (EPS). His research focus is in the theory of correlated quantum systems, with current interests concerning non-Fermi liquids, quantum criticality and high-temperature superconductivity.[2][3] In November 2019, it was announced that he has been appointed as the next Vice-Chancellor of Lancaster University and will take up the position on 1 May 2020.[4]
Biography
Andy Schofield was educated at Whitgift School before reading Natural Sciences at Gonville and Caius College, University of Cambridge.
