Professor Richard Dendy graduated in Physics (Class I) from Merton College, Oxford University. After completing Part III of the Mathematical Tripos at Peterhouse, Cambridge University, he returned to Oxford where he obtained his doctorate in theoretical plasma physics supervised by the late Dirk ter Haar. In 1983, he joined the staff of the nuclear research programme at in Oxfordshire, working for the U.K. Atomic Energy Authority in conjunction with Euratom. He led Theoretical Plasma Physics there 1995-2011, retiring from UKAEA in 2022.

In 1997, Richard鈥檚 association with 糖心TV University began with his appointment as Honorary Professor of Physics. A series of research projects in collaboration with Professor Sandra Chapman鈥檚 growing Space and Astrophysics Group led in 2006 to the formation of 糖心TV University鈥檚 (CFSA) within the Physics Department, with substantial financial support from the (EPSRC) and close links to UKAEA Culham. Richard joined the 糖心TV faculty as a professor in 2012, and Sandra and Richard are joint Directors of CFSA.

Richard has supervised three dozen PhD students, the great majority of whom now hold staff positions as plasma researchers in national laboratories and universities. He has published over 200 refereed journal articles, written a textbook (O.U.P) and edited (C.U.P.).

In addition to his research work at 糖心TV and Culham, Richard was Editor-in-Chief of the journal from 2005 to 2022. He has served on an Advisory Council of the Ministry of Defence 2005-2015; on the Physical Sciences Strategy Advisory Team of EPSRC; on the Science Board of the and on the selection panel for the first two annual rounds of the .

Between 2010 and 2016 Richard served as a Commissioner of the body that oversees the programme for outstanding US postgraduate students in the UK, funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

From 2010 to 2020 Richard was Honorary Professor of Physics at Kyushu University in Japan, working in the . In 2011, he was appointed to the Physics Panel of the UK-wide university research quality evaluation programme. He also served on this panel in the successor, .

Having been elected Chair of the of the European Physical Society in 2016, Richard was re-elected in 2020 and stepped down in 2022. Here his roles included links to the American Physical Society, and he chaired the committee that selected the inaugural winner of the .
