Interests
I am interested in the Foundations of Physics, in particular the structures involved, and their applications to Informatics, with a strong structural bias towards Logic, Order and Category Theory. I am University Lecturer in Quantum Computer Science here at Oxford and currently enjoy an EPSRC Advanced Research Fellowship entitled The Structure of Quantum Information and its Ramifications for IT which relieves me from most of my faculty duties. I am a Governing Body Fellow of Wolfson College. I coordinate the EC FP6 STREP Foundational Structures in Quantum Information and Computation (QICS) within the Future and Emerging Technologies Open Scheme. I also hold a Leverhulme, an EPSRC, an ONR, and an FQXi grant.The administrative aspects of my research projects are managed by Janet Sadler; for urgent matters you can try to contact her if you can't reach me. I have also done some work on dynamic epistemic logic and compositional distributional models of meaning. I currently have nine PhD students (or DPhils students as they call them here in Oxford); links to them are below.Biography
My previous affiliations are: the Free University of Brussels where I obtained my Doctorate in Theoretical Physics, Imperial College in London where I was a post-doc in the Theoretical Physics Group, and the Mathematics and Statistics Department of McGill University in Montreal where I was a post-doc in the Category Theory Group. I was also formally affiliated to the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics of Cambridge University, on a research grant of the European TMR network Linear Logic in Computer Science. I have been offered a Long Term Visiting Scientists position at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, which I will take up for a period of 3 months in 2009.Links
