Biography
Ryder earned a master's degree in physics from Oxford University, a PhD in Mathematical Physics from Edinburgh University under supervision of Peter Higgs, and later an SERC fellowship.
In 1967 he went to the University of Kent where he is still a senior lecturer.
His research interests are in geometrical aspects of particle physics and its parallels with general relativity, and the possible existence and detection of torsion and curvature in spacetime. He also does research on the geometric phase and in condensed matter physics.
