In 1972, after completing my PhD at Cambridge, I went to the University of Durham as Addison Wheeler Fellow; thereafter, except for a number of years absence at CERN, the Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris, the California Institute of Technology, and some months in the ITP Santa Barbara and Cambridge UK, I  worked in the Department of Mathematical Sciences, Durham until my move to York in 1999. From 1st January 2008 I will return to Durham.

Some of my favourite views of the York campus.


My current research concerns various aspects of Mathematical Physics, especially 
  • Classical and quantum field theory;
  • Two-dimensional integrable quantum field theories, particularly Toda field theory;
  • String theory.
A publication list is available from the SLAC-HEP archive.

I have taught many areas of applied mathematics and theoretical physics to undergraduates, including mathematical methods, fluid mechanics, classical mechanics, special and general relativity, nonlinear wave equations, solitons, and numerical analysis. I have also taught quantum field theory, representation theory of Lie groups and algebras, strings, and a variety of other special topics  such as 'monopoles and instantons', 'supersymmetry', and 'chaos', to graduate students. 


The University of Durham was the coordinating partner of an EC  TMR Network:  October 1996 - September 2000 

Integrability, non-perturbative effects, and symmetry in quantum field theory

A new EC FP5 Network started in October 2002 with York as the coordinating partner
