Mackenzie received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Cambridge . Until 1993 he worked at the IRC for superconductivity at the same university. From 1993 to 1997 he was a Royal Society University Research Fellow and then until 2001 at the University of Birmingham as a Royal Society University Research Fellow and Honorary Reader in Condensed Matter Physics . Since 2001 he has been at the University of St. Andrews . Since 2013 he has been director of the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids .

Mackenzie works in the field of superconductivity of exotic metals and has specifically investigated the properties of TI 2 Ba 2 CuO 6 , Sr 2 RuO 4 and Sr 3 Ru 2 O 7 .
