Shane Dooley

Shane obtained his undergraduate degree at Trinity College Dublin (2009), followed by a master's degree at the University of Cambridge (2010). After a PhD at the University of Leeds (2015), he then held postdoc positions at the National Institute of Informatics, Tokyo (2015-2017) and at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (2017-2021). He returned to Trinity College by joining the QuSys group as a postdoc in October 2021.

Shane is interested in quantum enhanced sensing, and in the obstacles to achieving such quantum enhancements in practice. He is also interested in many-body quantum dynamics, and particularly in mechanisms that prevent the thermalisation that usually occurs in large complicated quantum systems.
