Vlatko Vedral professorship at Leeds and visiting professorships in Vienna, Singapore (NUS) and at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Canada.[citation needed] He is the author of several books, including Decoding Reality.[4]
Education
After completing secondary education at Mathematical Grammar School (Matematička gimnazija), he received his Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees from Imperial College London, where he graduated with a PhD in 1998.[2][5]
Career and research
After his PhD, Vedral was appointed Elsag-Bailey
postdoctoral research fellow in Oxford. He then held a research fellowship at Merton College, Oxford returning to Imperial College as the Governor’s lecturer to start a quantum information science research group, a position he held from 2000-2004. Before returning to Oxford, he was centenary professor of quantum information science at the University of Leeds from 2004 to 2009.[6] As of 2009, he has held joint appointments as a Professor of Physics at the University of Oxford and the Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) at the National University of Singapore, the latter ending in the summer of 2022. He was appointed Fellow of Wolfson College, Oxford
in 2009.
