Andrew Briggs is a practising Christian.

Briggs is a resident of Northmoor Road, Oxford, and for several years the artist Roger Wagner and Briggs lived in the same house, which ultimately led to them co-authoring a book, The Penultimate Curiosity: How science swims in the slipstream of ultimate questions.

1950

George Andrew Davidson Briggs (born 1950) is a British scientist.

He is Professor of Nanomaterials in the Department of Materials at the University of Oxford.

He is best known for his early work in acoustic microscopy and his current work in materials for quantum technologies.

He was born in Dorchester, Dorset, son of David Briggs, a classics teacher at Bryanston School Dorset, and later headmaster of King's College School Cambridge, and Mary (née Lormer), whose former maths pupils include Sir Timothy Gowers and Sir Andrew Wiles.

1968

He was educated at the Leys School Cambridge, he studied physics at St. Catherine's College, Oxford, from 1968 to 1971 as the Clothworkers' Scholar.

1971

From 1971 to 1973, after graduating from his first degree he taught Physics and Religious Education at Canford School, Dorset.

1973

From 1973 to 1976 he undertook research for a PhD at the Cavendish Laboratory.

1976

From 1976 to 1979 he studied theology at Ridley Hall and Queens' College, Cambridge, where he won the Chase Prize for Greek.

1979

In 1979 he was a Research Assistant in the Engineering Department at Cambridge University.

1980

In 1980 moved to Oxford as a Research Fellow in the Department of Metallurgy and from 1981 Lecturer in Physics at St Catherine's College.

1984

In 1984 he was appointed Lecturer in Metallurgy and Science of Materials at the University of Oxford, in 1996 Reader in Materials, and in 1999 Professor of Materials.

2002

In 2002 he was elected to the newly created Chair of Nanomaterials at the University of Oxford.

From 2002 to 2009 he was Director of the Quantum Information Processing Interdisciplinary Research Collaboration, and EPSRC Professorial Research Fellow.

His scientific research since taking up the Chair of Nanomaterials in 2002 has concentrated on materials with potential for building quantum computers.

These include molecules in which the quantum states of electron and nuclear spins can be controlled with exquisite precision.

2010

Since 2010 he has also been responsible for the preparation and evaluation of grant proposals to Templeton World Charity Foundation which serves as a philanthropic catalyst for discoveries relating to the Big Questions of human purpose and ultimate reality.

He has initiated a large number of research projects and related activities around the world, in topics such as spiritual discovery through science, science as a component of theology, the power of information, freedom and free enterprise, and character development.

He has published over 600 papers, books and articles; the majority in internationally reviewed journals.

2013

Having established the key necessary phenomena in ensembles of large numbers of spins, since 2013 he has worked on harnessing quantum properties in devices.

He has also shown how the materials and techniques developed for quantum information technologies can be used for investigating the nature of reality in the context of different interpretations of quantum theory.
