David John Candlin

David John Candlin (1928, Croydon, Surrey[1] - ?) was an English physicist. He is known for developing the path integral formulation of the Fermionic field, inventing Grassmann integration for this purpose.[2] He received his PhD in 1955, and wrote his influential paper on Grassmann integration shortly thereafter. He was later appointed a lecturer at the University of Edinburgh.[3]
