Michael Aaron Nielsen (born January 4, 1974) is a quantum physicist, science writer, and computer programming researcher living in New York City.[3]
In 2004 he was characterized as Australia's "youngest academic" and secured a Federation Fellowship at the University of Queensland; the fellowship was for five years.[4] He worked at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, as the Richard Chace Tolman Prize Fellow at Caltech, and a Senior Faculty Member at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. Nielsen obtained his PhD in physics in 1998 at the University of New Mexico.[1] With Isaac Chuang he is the co-author of a popular textbook on quantum computing.[5]
In 2007, Nielsen announced a marked shift in his field of research: from quantum information and computation[5][6] to “the development of new tools for scientific collaboration and publication”.[7] This work includes "massively collaborative mathematics" projects like the Polymath project with Timothy Gowers.[8] Besides writing books and essays, he also gives talks about Open Science.[9]
He is a member of the Working Group on Open Data in Science at the Open Knowledge Foundation.[10]
As of 2015, Nielsen works as a Research Fellow at the Recurse Center.[3][11]
