Chris Hull is a professor of Theoretical Physics at Imperial College London.[1] Hull is known for his work on string theory, M-theory, and generalized complex structures.[2] Edward Witten drew partially from Hull's work for his development of M-theory.[3]
Hull was awarded the Wolfson Research Merit Award by the Royal Society in 2002 and the Dirac Medal for Theoretical Physics by the Institute of Physics in 2003. He was awarded a place in the SERC Advanced Research Fellowship in 1987 as well as in the EPSRC Senior Research Fellowship in 1996. He is also a fellow of the Institute of Physics.[4]
