![]() Thomas has made contributions to algebraic geometry, differential Geometry, and symplectic geometry. He was made professor of pure mathematics in 2005. Together with Donaldson, he defined the Donaldson–Thomas invariants of Calabi–Yau 3-folds, now a major topic in geometry and the mathematics of string theory.īefore joining Imperial College, he was member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, and affiliated with Harvard University and the University of Oxford. Thomas obtained his PhD on gauge theory on Calabi–Yau manifolds in 1997 under the supervision of Simon Donaldson at the University of Oxford. He studies moduli problems in algebraic geometry, and ‘ mirror symmetry’-a phenomenon in pure mathematics predicted by string theory in theoretical physics. He is a professor at Imperial College London. Richard Paul Winsley Thomas FRS is a British mathematician working in several areas of geometry. Gauge Theory on Calabi-Yau Manifolds (1997) ![]()
