'''Michael E. Fisher''' (1931-) is a Distinguished University Professor
and Regents Professor in the Institute for Physical Science and Technology and Department of Physics at the University of Maryland.

Fisher was born on Sept. 3, 1931 in Trinidad. He earned a B.Sc. at King's College, University of London and completed his Ph.D. in Physics there in 1957.

He taught at King's College, reaching the rank of Professor from 1958-1966. He then emigrated to the United States to become a Professor of Chemistry and Mathematics at Cornell University. At Cornell, he was active in University governance, including serving as the Secretary of the University Senate and as Chair of the Chemistry Department.

In 1987, Fisher moved to the University of Maryland.<ref>http://terpconnect.umd.edu/~xpectnil/FisherSummaryCV.html Retrieved 2009-02-11.</ref>
