Daniel S. Fisher

Daniel S. Fisher (born November 21, 1956) is an American theoretical physicist working in statistical physics.

Biography

Daniel Fisher graduated from Cornell University with a bachelor's degree in mathematics and physics in 1975 and from Harvard University with a master's degree in physics in 1978 and a doctorate in physics in 1979 working with Bertrand Halperin. In 2005 he moved to Stanford University as a professor of applied physics.

Fisher initially focused on dynamics and phase transitions in disordered systems (such as glasses) and quantum dissipation in superconductors. More recently, he switched to biophysics with a wide range of research topics (including information processing in the brain, physics of biological macromolecules, and evolutionary and population dynamics).

He has been a Fellow of the American Physical Society since 1986.

He is a son of Michael E. Fisher and brother of Matthew P. A. Fisher.
