Before joining the Quantum Worldviews project, I spent two years teaching Theology and Natural Science at the University of Cambridge. Prior to this, I was a Junior Research Fellow in Religion and the Frontier Challenges at Pembroke College, Oxford, and a College Lecturer in Philosophy at Oriel College, Oxford.
