I am a Reader in Pure Mathematics at the University of Manchester.
My research interests are on the crossroads of Algebra, Differential Geometry, Topology, and Mathematical Physics. I have done research in supermanifold geometry, quantization, index theorem, quantum groups, and integral geometry. My most recent research concerns odd and even Poisson brackets, homotopy algebras, super linear algebra and its applications, and other topics. You can find more information here.
I received my Ph.D. and B.A./M.A. from the (M. V. Lomonosov) Moscow State University in 1989 and 1984. Moscow is my native place and my mother tongue is Russian. I am a member of the large community of Russian mathematicians working at various places around the globe.
In 1991-1996, I worked at the Department of Mathematics of the Moscow State University (at the Division of Higher Geometry and Topology). Before obtaining a permanent position at Manchester in February 1999, I spent some good time in California on visiting positions at the UC Berkeley and UCSD. I have been back at Berkeley a few times after that as visiting scholar. In recent years, I have also been visiting professor at Notre Dame University and Michigan State University.
Besides mathematics, I am interested in literature, religion, and philosophy. See here.
About my name. My full name in English is: Theodore Theodorovich Voronov, short: Theodore Voronov. (The middle "Theodorovich" part is the patronymic, i.e. derivative from the father's first name, which is a part of the naming system in Russian and some other languages.) In the original Russian spelling: Федор Федорович Воронов (or Ѳедоръ Ѳедоровичъ Вороновъ, in the traditional orthography, which I prefer). I often use a shortened form of my first name in English, as "Ted".
