History

Barlow is the son of Andrew Dalmahoy Barlow (1916–2006) and his wife Yvonne.[2] He is thus the grandson of Alan Barlow, and his wife Nora (née Darwin), through whom he is a great-great-grandson of Charles Darwin.

Work

His mathematical interests include probability, Brownian motion and fractal sets.

His doctoral students include Steven N. Evans.[3]

Recognition

He was awarded the Rollo Davidson Prize in 1984.[1][4] He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 1998.[1] He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2005.[5] In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[6] In 2018 the Canadian Mathematical Society listed him in their inaugural class of fellows.[7]
