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 High Energy 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 then spent several years at Imperial College London, first as a postdoc, then on an Exhibition of 1851 fellowship and finally on a Royal Society Fellowship .
Leaving busy London, I then worked at the University of Oxford, in the Department of Physics before relocating to the University of Leeds. 

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