Academic background

Abel initially read for an MMATH Mathematics with Astronomy degree in the Department of Mathematics & Computer Science at the University of Leicester, but after two years he switched to the MMATH Mathematics degree program, preferring to concentrate on the more theoretical aspects of physics- namely general relativity and differential geometry.

After graduating, he then started Doctoral work in Cosmology at the University of Sheffield. After a year however, he returned to the University of Leicester, finding his initial choice of subject "a little too left field", he then started a PhD concerned with Hawking Radiation and Black Hole Thermodynamics which he completed in 2012.
