Colin J. Humphreys

I am a Professor and Director of Research at Cambridge University, UK, and a Fellow of Selwyn College, Cambridge. I am a physicist and materials scientist, with a long-standing interest in biblical studies and the interface between science and faith. I have given many invited talks at both scientific and biblical conferences and published in both leading scientific and biblical journals. I have been awarded gold medals for my research from the USA, Europe and the UK. I was knighted by the Queen in 2010 for services to science. I am a Fellow of the Royal Society and a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering: these are the leading science and engineering societies in the UK. I am a Christian and a scientist and I would like to say to "new atheists" like Richard Dawkins that it is indeed possible to be both a Christian and a scientist!
