Dr Carolyn Wood

Carolyn is a theoretical physicist studying quantum information and quantum foundations. She grew up in central Queensland and holds bachelor's degrees in physics and applied linguistics. She completed her PhD at the University of Queensland.

Her research is focused on physics at the interface between quantum mechanics, general relativity and thermodynamics, and its applications to quantum information theory and quantum computing. She is also broadly interested in machine learning and artificial intelligence, and cross-disciplinary research combining physics and linguistics.

Carolyn was awarded a Deborah Jin Research Fellowship by the ARC Centre of Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems (EQUS) in 2022.
