Mark Harris is the Andreos Idreos Chair in Science and Religion at the University of Oxford; Director of the Ian Ramsey Centre in Science and Religion, Harris Manchester College, University of Oxford. Active in physics for many years, he is known (with Steve Bramwell of University College London) as the discoverer of ‘spin ice’, currently a major research area in the physics of magnetism. By the end of 2020, more than 6,000 journal articles had been published on the topic since its original discovery in 1997. A little after this original breakthrough, he also discovered theology, and began to broaden his interests beyond magnetism. He moved to the University of Edinburgh in 2012 to establish its Science and Religion programme. In 2023 he moved to Oxford to take up the Andreas Idreos Chair in Science and Religion, and to direct the Ian Ramsey Centre.
