Victor John Emery (16 May 1934 – 18 July 2002) was educated at Boston Grammar School (1944-1951) and won the Parry Gold Medal in 1951. He later became a specialist in superconductors and superfluidity. His model for the electronic structure of the copper-oxide planes is the starting point for many analyses of high-temperature superconductors and is commonly known as the Emery model.
