Career
He has contributed substantially to spectroscopy on the magnetism of disordered systems and on high-temperature superconductors and antiferromagnetism identifying magnets with tuneable quantum fluctuations that can be used to study the transition between classical and quantum behavior. His work has helped to demonstrate that quantum spin fluctuations underlie exotic superconductivity. He have been recipient of multiple honors he has more than 290 peer review publications, 14054 total citations by 9542 documents and h-index of 65.
Son of mathematician Alfred Aeppli and Dorothee Aeppli, Gabriel was born in Zürich 25 November 1956.
Brothers: Jacob, and Andreas. Gabriel Aeppli moved from Zürich shortly after birth with his father in the United States.
He lived in London UK from 2002 to 2015 when he moved back to Zürich. He studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he in 1978 obtained a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics. and Doctor of Philosophy, Master of Science
& B.Sc in Electrical Engineering (1983).
He was a research assistant at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and industrial co-op -Student of International Business Machines Corporation. From 1996 to 2002 he was a Senior Scientist at the Nippon Electric Corporation Laboratories in Princeton. From 2002 as Quain Professor of Physics at University College London (University College London) he helped to found the London Centre for Nanotechnology where he acted as director until March 2015 His current technical focus is on the implications of photon science and nanotechnology for information processing and health care. Currently he is the director of Synchrotron Radiation and Nanotechnology at the Paul Scherrer Institute Kondo insulator Scale-free network 2015 Fellow National Academy of Sciences.
