Thomas Ward (mathematician)

Thomas Boulton Ward (* 1963 ) is a British mathematician.

Thomas Ward went to school in Swaziland and received his doctorate in 1989 under Klaus Schmidt at the University of Warwick ( Topological Entropy and Periodic Points for Actions on Compact Abelian Groups with the Descending Chain Condition ${\ displaystyle Z ^ {d}}$ ). He was a post-graduate student at the University of Maryland at College Park and Ohio State University . He had been at the University of East Anglia since 1992 , where he became Professor and later Vice Rector . Today he is Vice Rector for Studies and Teaching at the University of Durham .

He deals with algebraic dynamic systems, ergodic theory and their interaction with number theory.

In 2012, he and Graham Everest (a colleague at the University of East Anglia) received the Lester Randolph Ford Award for A repulsion motif in diophantine equations .
