Cyril Isenberg MBE is an English physicist at the University of Kent, where he is an Honorary Lecturer.[1]
Isenberg is known for pioneering the analog computing possibilities of soap bubbles; in 2012, his 1976 article on the subject was one of a set of "classic articles" selected by American Scientist to celebrate their centennial.[2][3] He has also frequently given physics lectures to schoolchildren and appeared in television shows, and is the organizer of the British Physics Olympiad.[4] He is the author of books The Science of Soap Films and Soap Bubbles (Dover, 1978) and Physics Experiments and Projects for Students (with S. Chomet, Taylor & Francis, 1989 & 1996).
In 1994, Isenberg won the Lawrence Bragg Medal and Prize of the Institute of Physics for his contributions to physics education.[4][5] In 2008, he became a Member of the Order of the British Empire.[4]
