MSE Professor BishopProfessor David Bishop wins the 2026 Oliver E. Buckley Condensed Matter Physics Prize

Bishop, the Head of Materials Science & Engineering was awarded the 2026 Oliver E. Buckley Condensed Matter Physics Prize. Bishop was recognized for groundbreaking experiments that uncovered the role of vortices in the superfluid phase transition in helium films and observed anyonic braiding statistics of quasiparticles in the fractional quantum Hall effect, thus establishing the significance of topological excitations in two-dimensions.

The Buckley Prize recognizes outstanding theoretical or experimental contributions to condensed matter physics.
