John Harnad (born Hernád János, Budapest) 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. 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.
His research is on integrable systems, gauge theory and random matrices. He was the 2006 recipient of the CAP-CRM Prize in Theoretical and Mathematical Physics. []
