Are We Nearly There Yet?

Andrew Sherry is Special Advisor UK's National Nuclear Laboratory and Research Professor at The University of Manchester. He lives in Manchester with his wife Sue and has two grown up daughters.

Andrew grew up in South East London and went to school at Dulwich College. He really loved sports and music and wasn’t particularly academic during his time at school. After not getting the A level results he’d hoped for, Andrew was offered a place through clearing at The University of Manchester to study Metallurgy.

Andrew really enjoyed his time at university and jumped at the chance when he was offered to do a PhD which he did on Single Crystal Superalloys. After completing his PhD, Andrew went on to work at UK Atomic Energy Authority for seventeen years and within his time at UKAEA Andrew began a Royal Society Industry Fellowship with the University of Manchester enabling him to do part time research whilst working for five years.

This then led Andrew back into academia. Andrew became the Director at Dalton Nuclear Institute. It was here that Andrew was working on significant projects that impacted the whole country and he found the work very rewarding. Andrew then went on to work at National Nuclear Laboratory as a Chief Scientist.
