He won the Adams Prize of Cambridge University in 1973. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1983. He is also a Founding Fellow of the Learned Society of Wales.
He showed that the Hasse principle holds for non-singular cubic forms in at least nine variables.[1]
He proved one of Emil Artin's two conjectures, Artin's conjecture on primitive roots, conditionally, assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis. [2]
