Professor Chris Fewster is a faculty member in the Department of Mathematics at the University of York, serving as Deputy Head of Department for Research. His academic journey includes a PhD from the University of Cambridge and postdoctoral roles at Bern and York before joining as a lecturer in 1998. He has held significant university roles, including membership of the Senate and leadership roles in teaching and assessment committees.
His research focuses on mathematically rigorous formulations of quantum field theory (QFT) in curved spacetimes, with four main areas: measurement theory in QFT, quantum energy inequalities (QEIs), locally covariant QFT, and Hadamard states. He has supervised numerous PhD students, including notable works on QEIs and locally covariant frameworks.
Recent publications (2021–2025) emphasize advancements in quantum measurement frameworks, energy inequalities, and foundational aspects of QFT. His work bridges functional analysis, geometry, and category theory, addressing paradoxes and applications in quantum information. Active in collaborations and grants, his research group explores mathematical physics and quantum information.
Awards: None explicitly listed.
Supervision and grants include leadership in projects like the EPSRC-funded 'Symmetry and measurement: a foundation for semi-local quantum physics.' His lab affiliation is the Mathematical Physics and Quantum Information Research Group.
