Dugald Macpherson
Hugh Dugald Macpherson (* around 1959 ) is a British mathematician who studies model theory , infinite permutation groups and combinatorics .
Macpherson studied mathematics and philosophy at Merton College, Oxford University from 1977 and received his doctorate there in 1983 under Peter Cameron ( Enumeration of Orbits of Infinite Permutation Groups ). He was then a post-doctoral student at Simon Fraser University , then researched at Cambridge (Junior Research Fellow and SERC Advanced Fellow) and at Queen Mary and Westfield College at the University of London, where he was a lecturer from 1992 . He has been a Lecturer since 1994, Reader since 1996 and Professor of Mathematical Logic from 2001 at the University of Leeds .
He researches model theory of valued bodies, groups and finite structures and stability theory as well as infinite permutation groups.
In 1997 he received the Junior Berwick Prize .
