Early life and careerProfessor Hughes was born and raised in Belfast, educated at St. Mary's Christian Brothers' Grammar School and at Queen's University Belfast where he obtained a BSc with First Class Honours in Mathematics and a PhD in Theoretical Physics.[6] Following appointments at Queen's and at the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna, he became Professor of Information Systems Engineering at the University of Ulster in 1991. There he held a range of senior academic positions and was actively involved in promoting research and technology transfer initiatives which attracted substantial funding to the university. He sits on the boards of a range of public and private sector organisations. Under his presidency at Maynooth, the institution suffered severe financial problems.[7] Hughes has international links in Europe, the US and Asia. He has initiated a large number of research collaborations with prestigious institutions including the Max-Planck Institutes, Carnegie Mellon University, MIT and Tsinghua University in Beijing. Hughes was criticised for appointing his then wife to a high-paying position at Bangor,[8] and the purchase and refurbishment of his house by the university (costing the institution £750,000)[8][9][10] as well as for a number of other scandals.[11] Under Hughes's leadership, Bangor University faced severe financial problems, resulting in several reductions of staff. From his takeover in 2010, when Bangor University made a £4.2 million profit, to 2017, the university's nominal income had risen by 12 per cent, but their expenditures by 19 per cent with the university's interests and finance costs soaring by 747 per cent.[12][13] When a new financial crisis as well as allegations of racist and sexist harassment against his ex-wife were revealed in late 2018, Bangor University announced Hughes's resignation by December 2018, eight months ahead of his ordinary retirement.[14][15][16] References1. ^{{cite news | last = | first = | title = Birthdays | newspaper = The Guardian | location = | page = 35 | language = | publisher = Guardian News & Media | date = 28 Aug 2014 | url = | accessdate = 28 Aug 2014}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060420215335/http://www.nuim.ie/about/welcome.shtml |title=NUI Maynooth> About NUI Maynooth > President's Greeting |date= 2006-04-20|accessdate=2018-05-02}} 3. ^{{Cite newspaper|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/10296299 |title=Bangor University appoints non-Welsh speaker as head - BBC News |journal=BBC News |date= 2010-06-11|accessdate=2018-05-02}} 4. ^{{cite web|author=00:00, 24 JUN 2010Updated11:55, 5 APR 2013 |url=http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/bangor-university-appoints-high-flyer-ireland-1914841 |title=Bangor University appoints high-flyer from Ireland as new vice-chancellor |publisher=Wales Online |date= 2010-06-23|accessdate=2018-05-02}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.bangor.ac.uk/about/senior_management/professor_john_hughes.php.en |title=Professor John G.
