Daniel S. Fisher (born November 21, 1956) is an American theoretical physicist working in statistical physics.
[2][3] He then worked in the theoretical department at Bell Labs until 1987.
[3] In 2005 he moved to Stanford University as a professor of applied physics.
[3] Fisher initially focused on dynamics and phase transitions in disordered systems (such as glasses) and quantum dissipation in superconductors.
More recently, he switched to biophysics with a wide range of research topics (including information processing in the brain, physics of biological macromolecules, and evolutionary and population dynamics).
