Why Is Richard S. Ward Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Richard Samuel Ward FRS is a British mathematical physicist. He is a Professor of Mathematical & Theoretical Particle Physics at the University of Durham. Work Ward earned his Ph.D. from the University of Oxford in 1977, under the supervision of Roger Penrose. He is most famous for his extension of Penrose's twistor theory to nonlinear cases, which he with Michael Atiyah used to describe instantons by vector bundles on the three-dimensional complex projective space. He has related interests in the theory of monopoles, topological solitons and skyrmions.
