After postdoctoral training at Princeton Universityand Cambridge, he was lecturer in St. Andrews (1962–64) and at Durham University (1964), retiring as Professor (2000). He has made numerous influential contributions in particle and mathematical physics, notably in the early formulation of string theory, as well as the determination of the weak mixing angle in extra dimensions, infinite-dimensional Lie algebras, classical solutions of gauge theories, higher-dimensional gauge theories, and deformation quantization. He has co-authored several volumes, notably on quantum mechanics in phase space. (en)
