Dr John Lennox is a graduate of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, and took his doctorate here in 1970. Then for 29 years he was Reader in Pure Mathematics at the University of Wales from where he has a DSc. Now he is a Research Fellow in Mathematics at Green College, Oxford, and a Senior Fellow of the Whitfield Institute.
