Prehistoric:
Born and reared in Ireland, I did my undergrad & masters in Theoretical Physics at Trinity College Dublin. 

Historic:
Flying to sunnier and drier climes I did Tripos Part III Mathematics and a PhD in Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge. 
After my PhD I did a postdoc in the University of Sydney, where I developed a healthy addiction to good coffee and banana bread.
​I returned to Europe, and spent several years at Imperial College London, on an Exhibition of 1851 Fellowship and on a Royal Society Fellowship .
Leaving busy London, I then worked at the University of Oxford, in the Department of Physics. 

Present:
My time is split between working at PsiQuantum and in Academia.  I hold a University Academic Fellowship at the University of Leeds, and I teach in the graduate quantum information course  at Imperial College London.
