Dominic Williamson, Ph.D.

Dominic Williamson is a DECRA Fellow at the University of Sydney in Australia. As a member of It from Qubit, he was a postdoc at Stanford University. He is originally from Australia, where he studied physics and mathematics while in the quantum theory group at the University of Sydney. He then obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Vienna under the supervision of Frank Verstraete, followed by a postdoc at Yale University with Meng Cheng. He is interested in the physical properties of systems that form quantum error-correcting codes, particularly those appearing in the context of topological phases, phase transitions and holography.
