Biography

I am presently a PhD candidate at the Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology (IHPST) in Toronto. Prior to my time here, I completed my Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Physics at the University of Manchester, where I also pursued a minor in Philosophy.
My research focuses on the nascent stages of quantum computing and quantum information theory. I delve into the intricate interplay between foundational inquiries and the pragmatic challenges arising from the pursuit of tangible quantum computing devices. My goal is to conduct a comprenhensive analysis of the diverse areas from which innovative ideas originate within the field.
