Research and career

edit

Robinson received his PhD from the University of Cambridge in 2007 for research into strongly ferromagnetic Josephson junctions[6] under Prof. Mark Blamire. From 2008 to 2011 he was a Junior Research Fellow in St John's College, Cambridge, and between 2011 and 2018 a University Research Fellow of the Royal Society.[7] In 2015 he was appointed a lecturer in the University Cambridge, a Reader in 2016, and Full Professor in 2019. Since 2023, Robinson is also the Editor-in-Chief for the Journal of Superconductivity and Novel Magnetism.
