Paul Stephen Aspinwall (born 26 January 1964 in England) is a British theoretical physicist and mathematician, who works on string theory (including dualities, mirror symmetry, D-branes, and Calabi–Yau manifolds) and also algebraic geometry.

Aspinwall received his early education at Bydales School, Marske-by-the-Sea and Prior Pursglove College, Guisborough. He then studied at the University of Oxford with a focus on theoretical elementary particle physics. He received his bachelor's degree in 1985 and his Ph.D. in 1988. He is now a professor of mathematics and physics at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina.

In 1998 he was an Invited Speaker with talk (''String theory and duality'') at the ICM in Berlin. In 1999 he was a Sloan Fellow. Provided by Wikipedia
