<biogHist>
<abstract>Alan McIntosh was a mathematician who specialised in analysis at the boundary of harmonic analysis and partial differential equations. With colleagues he was noted for solving the Calderon conjecture in the theory of singular integral operators, and the Kato square root problem. Other research covered Dirac operators and Hardy space. The techniques developed by McIntosh and his collaborators revolutionised the way fundamental operators in physics are analysed. McIntosh published over seventy publications and gave numerous invited lectures and conference presentations. From 1999 to 2014 he was Professor in the Mathematical Sciences Institute at the Australian National University.</abstract>
