About Me
I am an academic who straddles the line somewhere between mathematics and theoretical physics. My main interests are in Quantum Information Theory and the Foundations of Quantum Theory.
I received my bachelors degree in Physics with Theoretical Physics from The University of Manchester in 1999, followed by a Certificate of Advanced Study in Mathemaics (Maths Tripos part III) from the Department of Applied Maths and Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge in 2000, where I was a member of Girton College.
I studied for my Ph.D. in the School of Mathematics at the Univeristy of Bristol (2000-2003) under the supervision of Prof. Noah Linden, where I was a member of the Quantum Computing Group.
After a brief stint as a research assistant at Bristol, I arrived at Perimeter Institute as a Postdoctoral Fellow in January 2004, where I worked until September 2006. From October 2006, I was a research associate in the Centre for Quantum Computation at the University of Cambridge for three months. In January 2007, I arrived back in Waterloo for a second postdoctoral position, in which I am affiliated with the Institute for Quantum Computing and the Department of Applied Math at the University of Waterloo, and with the Perimeter Institute. The latter is due to a research grant from the Foundational Questions Institute.
Since April 2008, I have been on leave of absence from work due to illness.
