Dan Browne completed his undergraduate studies at Imperial College London, earning an MSci in Physics in 2000. During his degree, he spent a year in the beautiful German city of Freiburg im Breisgau, where he participated in a research project under the supervision of Christoph Keitel, studying the quantum mechanical interaction between light and atoms. In 2000, he returned to Germany on a DAAD one-year research scholarship and began working on quantum computation, supervised by Hans Briegel. In 2001, he returned to Imperial College to pursue his PhD under Martin Plenio, with his thesis entitled "Quantum Information Processing with Quantum Optical Systems." In 2004, Browne was awarded a Junior Research Fellowship at Merton College, Oxford, where he worked in the Atomic Laser Physics Group within the Physics Department and the Quantum Nanotechnology Group in the Materials Department. In summer 2007, he became a lecturer in the Atomic, Molecular, Optical, and Positronic Physics Group at UCL.
