This is Keith Bowden's page which I will be more creative with later! :-))

I trained as an Electrical Engineer (1971-4), then a Control Engineer (1974-7) at the University of Sheffield. Since then I have worked as a Consultant in Science, particularly Theoretical Physics, Engineering and Computing, both inside and outside University. I have also worked for the music and video industries in London and as a computing journalist and author. Since 1997 I have held an Associate Research Fellowship in the Theoretical Physics Research Unit at Birkbeck College, University of London. I am now semiretired and thus largely have the time to think about what I wish to!

My interests are in Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics, Natural Philosophy, Mereology and applications of Higher Algebra.

In 1997 I designed the world's first Quantum Computer that you can make at home for the cost of a MacDonald's (see url reference at the end of Elitzur-Vaidman bomb-tester).

I am possibly the world expert (at least still practicing) on the work of Gabriel Kron.

From 1979 to 1997 I was a member of the Council of the Science Fiction Foundation. I was also the British Agent for the Philip K Dick Society throughout its lifetime (1982-1992).

I have been proofreading papers, documents, articles and stories in Physics, Engineering, Computing and Science Fiction for the last thirty years.

I think that society's attitudes towards psychedelic drugs is so sad that it makes me want to cry.
