Martin Bishop read for a M.Physics ( Master’s degree in Physics) at St. Hugh’s College, Oxford.
He graduated with First Class Honours in 2003.
As an undergraduate, he was captain of the Oxford University Cross Country Club and gained a “Blue”.
In 2007 Martin completed his doctorate in “Optical Mapping Signal Synthesis”. In layman’s terms this means using computational mathematical methods to correct distorted results from experimental work on the passage of nerve impulses through the heart muscle.
In April 2008 Dr Bishop was appointed to be a Junior Research Fellow at St Anne’s College, Oxford and in June 2008 he was awarded a Wellcome Trust Fellowship to conduct research for a further four years.
Everyone who taught Martin during his seven years as a student at King Edward VII School is immensely proud of his achievements. We are sure we have not heard the last of this research scientist.
