Prof. Bob Coecke
Professor of Quantum Foundations, Logics and Structures
Department of Computer Science, University of Oxford
Professor Bob Coecke's research concerns conceptual and mathematical foundations of physics, in particular the use of logic and category theory in this area, with applications in quantum information and computation. Coecke also focuses on the use of the same structures in other areas, which include linguistics and theory of meaning in general, epistemic logic, and artificial intelligence. Bob is also a Fellow of Wolfson College Oxford.
