Gabriel Aeppli, PhD FRS (born 25 November 1956 in Zurich) is a Swiss-American electrical engineer, co-founder of the London Centre for Nanotechnology, professor of physics at ETH Zürich and EPF Lausanne, and head of the Synchrotron and Nanotechnology department of the Paul Scherrer Institute, also in Switzerland.He has contributed 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 has been the recipient of multiple honors, and he has more than 290 peer-review publications, 14,054 total citations from 9,542 documents, and a h-index of 70.
