Matthew Headrick

Matthew Peter Headrick (born ca. 1973[6]) is Associate Professor of Physics at Brandeis University.[3][1][4] He received his PhD from Harvard University in 2002 under Shiraz Minwalla and his A.B from Princeton University in 1994.[1] He is known for his contributions to the quantum information perspective on holography.

Headrick is notable as the 1990 winner of the Intel (then Westinghouse) Science Talent Search while a high school student at the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools, an event that generated intense media coverage.[2][7] Headrick appeared on talk shows including Today.[6][8] In response to the award, then-Illinois Gov. Thompson declared a "Matthew Headrick Day"[6][9] and the US House of Representatives also made a proclamation.[6]

gollark: Perhaps we can somehow partner with OpenNIC?
gollark: If we run an ACME server it'll be compatible with all the existing tooling too.
gollark: Interesting idea. I think we could do this.
gollark: The main issue I have with things is just that the PKI stuff is kind of awful, but we can change "major browser support" to "certificate issued by authorities trusted by major browsers, or secure alternative certificate issuance systems".
gollark: Things acting as servers, with internet connectivity and the ability to do IP and whatever, are surely basically fast enough™ to do cryptography.
