BIO

Everett is a second year PhD student doing research in Relativistic Quantum Information (RQI), at the intersection of relativistic and quantum theories under the supervision of Dr. Robert B. Mann in affiliation with the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC), the Waterloo Centre for Astrophysics, and the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics.

Originally from Moncton, NB, on the East Coast, Everett completed this undergraduate degree in Math and Physics at Mount Allison University in Sackville, NB. There, he began his foray into the quantum side of theoretical physics, completing his undergraduate thesis under the supervision of Dr. Nathaniel Johnston, a former IQC postdoctoral fellow. Outside of class, Everett was extensively involved in both student governance and the athletics programs, being recognized with the Don Norton Memorial Award, awarded to the graduating student who has made the greatest overall contribution to student life during their time at Mount Allison. He is also passionate about math and physics education, working as tutor at the Math Help Centre and as a TA for 8 different classes, in addition to leading a series of scientific outreach activities funded by NSERC's Student Ambassador program at a local francophone elementary school with a group of likeminded peers.

At U Waterloo since Fall 2020, Everett has remained involved in student government, athletics, and scientific outreach, serving as a student representative with the Physics GSA, the GSA-UW, Science Faculty Council, the University Senate, and the Canadian Assoication of Physicists (CAP), being a part of the Ultimate (Frisbee) Club's leadership, and working in various capacities for the IQC, most recently as a chaperone for QSYS. In these capacities, he has been recognized with the Club Sports Leadership Award, the IQC's David Johnston Award for Scientific Outreach, and the CAP Boris P. Stoicheff Memorial Graduate Scholarship.
