Shohini deftly applies "the surprising power of uncertainty" in physics both to life as we live it, and to new understandings about cyber communications in the future.
A 2014 TED Fellow and a rising star in physics, Shohini’s research in quantum information and chaos theory has received worldwide attention.
She is Associate Professor and Director of the Centre for Women In Science at Wilfrid Laurier University, and an Affiliate of the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. Shohini recently co-authored the first Canadian university textbook in introductory astronomy.
Shohini has a passion for breaking down barriers to women in science, and was named “Woman Physicist of the Month” by the American Physical Society. Winner of several international awards and recently featured in W Network’s list “15 awe-inspiring Canadian women you need to know”.
