Oliver Stockdale is a PhD student contributor to Physics World. He received his Master’s degree in physics from the University of Queensland, Australia and is now a PhD student at the Kirchhoff-Institut für Physik, Universität Heidelberg, Germany. His research involves theoretically studying entanglement in quantum fields, with a particular focus on spinor Bose–Einstein condensates. Outside of physics, Oliver enjoys bringing science to the broader community and engaging with young people to discuss science. In his spare time, he is often baking, reading or enjoying being outside.
