John Harnad (born Hernád János) is a Hungarian-born mathematical physicist. He did his undergraduate studies at McGill University and his doctorate at the University of Oxford (D.Phil. 1972) under the supervision of John C. Taylor. His research is on integrable systems, gauge theory and random matrices.
He is currently Director of the Mathematical Physics group at the Centre de recherches mathématiques (CRM), a national research centre in mathematics at the Université de Montréal and Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Concordia University. He is an affiliate member of the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics [1] and was a long-time visiting member of the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study [2].
In 2006, he was recipient of the CAP-CRM Prize in Theoretical and Mathematical Physics [3] [4] "For his deep and lasting contributions to the theory of integrable systems with connections to gauge theory, inverse scattering and random matrices".
He is the editor or author of numerous research monographs and proceedings on a wide range of topics in mathematical physics: Random Matrices, Integrable Systems, Random Processes, Transformation Groups and Symmetries, Isomonodromic Deformations, the Bispectral Problem, Geometrical and Topological Methods in Gauge Theory. His scientific publications include nearly two hundreds papers in leading research journals, monographs and conference proceedings [5]. They have strongly impacted several domains of research in mathematical physics, and are very widely cited [6].
