Lately I’ve been interested in how matter systems (like charged and/or massive particles) use the long-range fields (like the electromagnetic and gravitational fields) which are present in Nature to exchange and broadcast quantum information.

I also gave a talk about my most interesting result:
Teaching
Over the course of my MSc and PhD studies, I’ve had the pleasure to act as a teaching assistant (TA) in many courses at UBC. These have been mostly programming and data science courses, with some physics mixed in. Descriptions of the relevant UBC Master of Data Science courses can be found here, and the UBC Physics course descriptions are here.
Ultimately my success in teaching is determined by how beneficial my presence has been for the students:
“Colby is a smart guy”
– Anonymous DSCI 551 student
“The way he explains things is just amazing and so easy to understand”
– Anonymous PHYS 210 student
“MINDBLOWINGLY GREAT SUPPORT”
– Anonymous DSCI 512 student
Here are some full anonymized student evaluations of my teaching; student comments are usually on the second or third page.
