Chris Ferrie, a father of four and happy husband. Chris Ferrie’s job is academic research, where he follows his curiosity through the world of quantum physics. His passion for communicating science has led from the most esoteric topics of mathematical physics to more recently writing children’s books.

During the day you will find him as an Associate Professor at the University of Technology Sydney and Centre for Quantum Software and Information. Ferrie’s research interests include quantum estimation and control, and, in particular, the use of machine learning to solve statistical problems in quantum information science. He obtained his PhD in Applied Mathematics from Institute for Quantum Computing and University of Waterloo (Canada) in 2012.

Chris Ferrie is a physicist, mathematician, and father of four budding young scientists. He believes it is never too early to introduce small children to big ideas.
