Biography
Suzanne Fielding obtained her first degree in physics from Oxford University in 1997 and her PhD from Edinburgh University in 2000. Following postdoctoral research at the Polymer IRC at Leeds University, she spent four years lecturing in applied mathematics at Manchester University. In 2009 she took up a senior lectureship in the Department of Physics here at Durham University, and currently also holds an EPSRC Advanced Research Fellowship. In 2010 she received the Arthur B. Metzner early career award of the Society of Rheology.
