Yeats is from Halifax,Nova Scotia. As an undergraduate at the University of Waterloo,they won an honourable mention for the 2003 Morgan Prize for their research in number theory,the theory of Lie groups,and non-standard models of arithmetic. They graduated in 2003,and went to Boston University for graduate school, [4] where they completed their Ph.D. in 2008. Their dissertation,Growth Estimates for Dyson-Schwinger Equations,was supervised by Dirk Kreimer. [5] In 2016,Yeats was awarded a Humboldt Fellowship to visit Kreimer at the Humboldt University of Berlin. [6]
Yeats is the author of the books Rearranging Dyson–Schwinger Equations (Memoirs of the American Mathematical Society,2011) [7] and A Combinatorial Perspective on Quantum Field Theory (Springer,2017). [8]
