Cavendish Laboratory

<p style='text-align: justify;'>Sir Alan Herries Wilson was a theoretical physicist who carried out pioneering research in the quantum theory of semiconductors under the supervision of Fowler during his time in Cambridge.

He was awarded the 1932 Adams Prize for this work.</p>
