Position

I am a university lecturer in Mathematics with the title of Professor and a tutorial fellow of St Peter's College.  I am a member of the mathematical physics group.

Research

My research interests lie in geometry and physics, focussing mostly on general relativity and quantum theory. My interests are in the use of twistor theory to solve problems in mathematical physics, geometry, nonlinear differential equations with a focus on integrable systems arising in geometry and more recently twistor strings and twistor approaches to scattering amplitudes. Further details of my research interests can be obtained from my publication list up to 1995 and more recent publications can be obtained from the link to Mathsci in my Official Maths Institute web page linked in above and from the spires database.
