About me:
I'm a theoretical physicist and the Lucasian Professor of mathematics at the University of Cambridge, and a fellow of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. I've continued my career there, despite enduring severe disability caused by motor neurone disease (specifically, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). My 1988 book, A Brief History of Time, became a best-seller and brought my work in physics to a broader group so that all people could learn from it, rather than just academics.
