Research interests

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 2008 I was Principal of Collingwood College, Durham, until my return to York in 2011.

My current research concerns various aspects of Mathematical Physics, especially

Classical and quantum field theory;
Two-dimensional integrable quantum field theories with boundaries and defects.

York was the coordinating partner of the EC FP5 Network EUCLID from October 2002 - September 2006.
