He was supervised by renowned mathematical physicist Sir Harrie Massey at University College, University of London and earned his PhD in 1964. Furthermore, he was a research scientist for CSR Co 1964-5, and since 1965 has been at the University of New South Wales, where he has been Scientia Professor since 1999. His early work was in theoretical nuclear physics but he moved to applied mathematics, especially numerical analysis. His work has centred on numerical integration in many dimensions, in recent years concentrating on Quasi-Monte Carlo Methods.
He was President of the Australian Mathematical Society 1998-2000 and was President of the International Council for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ICIAM) 2003-7.
