Since 2012, she has served as the Master of Darwin College, Cambridge. She was previously a lecturer at Royal Holloway, University of London, rising to become Dean of its Faculty of Science.

Early life and education

Fowler was born in 1950 to Peter and Rosemary Fowler.[1] She comes from a family of eminent scientists. A great-grandfather was Ernest Rutherford, the 'father of nuclear physics', and her grandfather, Rutherford's son-in-law, was the mathematical physicist Ralph H. Fowler.[2]

She studied mathematics at Girton College, Cambridge, graduating with a first class Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in 1972.[2][1] In 1972 she joined Darwin College, Cambridge to undertake post-graduate studies in geophysics and completed her Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree in 1976.[3] Her doctoral thesis was titled "Seismic Studies of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge".[4]

Academic career

From 1977 to 1978, Fowler was a Royal Society European Fellow at ETH Zürich in Switzerland.[1] She joined the University of Saskatchewan in Canada as a research associate in 1981.[1][5] She was an assistant professor from 1982 to 1983, before returning to her research associate position.[1] She remained associated with the university as an adjunct professor between 1991 and 2001.[1]

In 1992, Fowler joined Royal Holloway, University of London as a lecturer; she was later promoted to senior lecturer.[1][6] Between 2002 and 2008, she was head of the Department of Earth Sciences.[6] She was made Professor of Geophysics in 2003.[1] In 2011, she was appointed Dean of the Faculty of Science.[1]

In April 2012, it was announce that Fowler had been elected the sixth Master of Darwin College, Cambridge.[2] She took up the appointment in October 2012, succeeding William Brown.[5]

Personal life

In 1975, Fowler married Euan Nisbet, now a Professor of Earth Sciences at Royal Holloway.[1][7][8] They met at Darwin college, Cambridge while students.[2][7] Together, they have three children: two daughters and a son.[1] Their daughter Ruth Nisbet, who is a biochemist and academic, also studied at Darwin College, Cambridge.[2]

Honours

In 1996, Fowler was awarded the Prestwich Medal by the Geological Society of London.[9] She is a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society (FRAS), a Fellow of the Geological Society of London (FGS), and a Fellow of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society (FRCGS).[5] In July 2018, Fowler was awarded an honorary Doctor of Science (DSc) by the University of Leeds,[10] and by the University of Edinburgh.[11]
