He studied at Oxford University (Bachelor in 1973, Pembroke College) and received his doctorate in 1977 from King's College London under Albrecht Fröhlich ( Galois module structure of the ring of integers of l-extensions ). He was at Trinity College, Cambridge before becoming a professor at the University of Manchester in 1986 . Since 2010 he has been Warden at Merton College, Oxford University.

In 1980 he proved a basic conjecture by Fröhlich about the Galois modular structure of the ring of whole numbers in algebraic number fields.

In 1982 he received the Junior Whitehead Prize and in 1983 the Adams Prize . From 1998 to 2000 he was President of the London Mathematical Society . He is a Fellow of the Royal Society (1996).

He has honorary doctorates from the University of Bordeaux , the University of East Anglia and the University of Leicester . In 2009 he was knighted as a Knight Bachelor .
