Description
Neil heads up the Condensed Matter Theory Group in the Clarendon
Laboratory. He did his BA at Cambridge University (St John's
College) and PhD at Harvard University as a Kennedy Scholar. He was
then made a Research Fellow at St. John's College, Cambridge
University, and a Professor in Physics at the Universidad de Los
Andes (Bogota). He came to Oxford in 1992. See

Neil presented the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures ‘Arrows of
Time’ on BBC TV in 1999. His group's research focuses on complex
systems, both in the classical and quantum regimes, and in
application domains as far apart as biology, medicine, finance, and
sociology. See ‘Financial Market Complexity’ (Oxford University
Press, 2003)

Also see his new popular science book on Complexity, 'Two's Company,
Three is Complexity' (Oneworld Publishing, 2007) which gives an
overview of this inter-disciplinary work.
He is the Series Editor for Complex Systems and
Inter-disciplinary Science by World Scientific Press. He has
also been an Editor of International Journal of Theoretical and
Applied Finance. Neil is a director of Oxford University's
computational centre for the study of financial markets as complex
systems.
