Biography
Colin Bushnell first joined the KCL Mathematics Department in 1965, as an undergraduate student. He took his PhD there in 1972, and has been a member of the Department continuously since 1974. He has been a professor since 1990, he was Head of Department 1996-7, Head of the School of Physical Sciences and Engineering 1997-2004. Since then, he has been Assistant Principal.
He was a Member of the Institute for Advanced Study (Princeton) 1988-9 and a visiting member of IHES in 1993. He was a member of SERC Mathematics Committee 1990-93 and a member of the EPSRC College of Reviewers for many years subsequently. He has written some 70 papers and 3 books. He was awarded the Senior Whitehead Prize of the London Mathematical Society in 1995 and an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 1994.
Research Interests
