Michael Boris Green
Michael Boris Green (born May 22, 1946 ) is a British physicist and a pioneer of string theory .
Life
Michael Green received his PhD from Cambridge University in 1970 . He was from 1978 to 1993 lecturer at Queen Mary College of the University of London called, in 1993 he became the John Humphrey Plummer Professor of Theoretical Physics at Cambridge University. From November 2009 to May 2015, he was Stephen Hawking's successor at the Lucasian Chair of Mathematics .
With John Schwarz he developed the superstring theory in the early 1980s. Their 1984 publication on the reversal of anomalies in superstring theories with certain symmetry groups led to the First Superstring Revolution . The condition placed severe constraints on the construction of GUTs based on superstring theories.
