AN academic at York University has been awarded one of the world's top honours in science.
Mathematician Dr Evgeny Sklyanin has been awarded a Fellowship of the Royal Society.
A Reader at the university, Dr Sklyanin is also a member of the Mathematical Physics research group. He is a graduate of the Steklov Institute of Mathematics and the University of St Petersburg in Russia.
Election to the Fellowship of the Royal Society is recognised worldwide as a sign of the highest regard in science. Candidates must be proposed by at least two existing Fellows and are assessed by sectional committees in each major field of science.
York University now has eight Fellows of the Royal Society. Last year, Professor Ottoline Leyser was elected for her work on plant hormones.
