About me
Hi all, Jacob Foster here. I am in the second year of my PhD in the Complexity Science Group, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Calgary. Before moving to the forbidding north I received my B.S. in Physics from Duke University, and I'm technically still a D.Phil candidate in Mathematics at the University of Oxford, where I was a proud resident of Balliol College. So my training is more or less in theoretical/mathematical physics, although I also spent quite a lot of time as an undergraduate and graduate student learning Med/Ren intellectual and art history, ancient languages, literary theory, and sociology. Even now it is unclear for what career I was preparing myself, but so it goes. I am an avid reader of books, an enthusiastic listener of classical music, and a courageous consumer of martinis. I also like to cook and hike when I can get my act together, though my favorite pastime is probably highly animated discussion over good food and drink.
