Ever since I was a kid, I've had an enormous interest in the sciences - everything from quantum physics to anthropology.

When I was a college student at Yale, I was studying physics and mathematics and was absolutely intent on becoming a theoretical physicist.

I was never strong at maths, but I eventually got onto a university physics/astronomy course, and that led on to my Ph.D. and eventual employment.

I've always been fascinated by quantum physics and the possibility of alternate realities.

I'm fascinated with quantum physics.

I wanted to become a mathematician, physicist or astronomer.

I think I set myself on a course to become a scientist around about the time that Carl Sagan's 'Cosmos' series was on television, and there really was no going back for me at that point, and then I went on to study space science and then get my Ph.D., then go aboard and work in the European Space Agency.

I got into physics through pop science and quantum science and ended up being such a quantum groupie.

I had an excellent math and physics teacher in high school named T.C. Patel, and in the university, I had truly dedicated professors in both physics and mathematics who gave me a sound foundation with which to pursue graduate studies.
